According to the latest reports, Dusan Vlahovic’s agent prompted Fiorentina to abandon contract talks with his excessive demands, including 10 per cent commission on a future sale.
The striker’s current deal runs to June 2023 and this morning Viola President Rocco Commisso announced that the renewal proposal had been rejected.
According to TGR RAI Toscana, the reasons for the collapse of the negotiations were not the wages on offer, but the specific demands that his agent made.
It’s reported the representative wanted an exclusive mandate to negotiate a sale at the agreed €75m release clause, plus 10 per cent commission on the transfer, in other words at least €7.5m.
This same source states that if Fiorentina do try to sell Vlahovic in the January transfer window, they will ask for circa €75m.
Numerous clubs in Italy and Europe are known to be interested in the Serbia international forward, including Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Manchester United.
