Vlahovic`s social media action coincides with reports suggesting a difficult situation for the Serbian international at the Allianz Stadium. He is reportedly reluctant to leave despite his contract being set to expire in June 2026.

He is due to earn €12 million in the final year of his current deal in Turin and has already turned down an offer from Fenerbahçe.

Juventus are reportedly preparing for his potential departure, having reportedly agreed terms to sign Jonathan David as a free agent.
