On August 9, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has given positive signals to Besiktas. The Serbian center forward does not want to wait any longer and is eager to return to the pitch as soon as possible, which may accelerate negotiations with the Turkish club.

Currently, Besiktas is the most serious suitor among all interested clubs, and Vlahovic's attitude toward a transfer is also shifting.

It is worth noting that a key factor in facilitating this deal is the influence of an old acquaintance – current Besiktas coach Vincenzo Italiano. During his time at Fiorentina, Italiano helped Vlahovic showcase his abilities, which caught the attention of giants like Juventus and ultimately led to his move to Turin.

Vlahovic and Besiktas are getting closer

Italiano has proactively contacted Vlahovic, and Dusan has responded positively.

Previously, Vlahovic was disappointed by Juventus' new management's cold approach. Although Juventus acknowledged his abilities, the new regime did not engage in in-depth dialogue with him, making the player feel neglected.

However, Vlahovic is now focused on his future. He hopes to find a stage where he can prove himself again, and Besiktas is willing to treat him as the team's centerpiece and offer him treatment befitting a top player.

Besiktas president Serdar Adali previously stated publicly: "Vlahovic? We are working on it; discussions are currently underway."

Following this statement, Besiktas has focused on communicating with Vlahovic's father Milos and his agent team, hoping to finalize all details as soon as possible.

Besiktas offers a high-salary contract

According to reports, Besiktas' contract offer fully meets Vlahovic's initial salary requirements.

The Turkish club plans to offer him a contract with an annual salary in the tens of millions of euros, along with a substantial signing fee.

Both parties are currently discussing bonus clauses, including individual performance bonuses and team performance-related bonuses. The specific distribution of the signing fee and floating bonuses still requires further negotiation.

If an agreement is reached, Vlahovic is expected to sign a four-year contract with Besiktas, with total earnings reaching a considerable level.

For Vlahovic, this is not only a financially lucrative contract but also an opportunity to prove himself again.

Italiano becomes a key factor

Vlahovic hopes to return to the mainstream European football scene and prove he is still a top striker. In Istanbul, he will reunite with a coach who knows him well.

Italiano coached Vlahovic at Fiorentina, knows his characteristics intimately, and knows how to maximize his abilities.

Under Italiano, Vlahovic displayed strong goal-scoring prowess, which caught Juventus' attention.

Now the two may work together again at Besiktas, which is one of the important factors driving the transfer. It is reported that Vlahovic has embraced the possibility of reuniting with Italiano, and Besiktas hopes to use this advantage to complete the signing.

Vlahovic's farewell to Juventus is counting down

Vlahovic's time at Juventus has come to an end.

The Serbian striker previously joined Juventus for over 80 million euros with high expectations, but he has not fully met external expectations during his time in Turin. Now, Juventus is seeking solutions, and Vlahovic hopes to find a new club as soon as possible.

In addition to Besiktas, other European teams have shown interest in him, but currently, few are genuinely willing to offer a significant contract and a core role. For Vlahovic, joining Besiktas represents an opportunity to prove himself again.

If the deal is ultimately completed, he will start a new chapter in the Turkish league, and Besiktas will acquire a top-flight forward with experience at an elite club.
