New Juventus director Marco Ottolini declared that the departure of Dusan Vlahovic wasn\u2019t necessarily 100 percent certain yet, but the Bianconeri<\/em> face an uphill climb to retain him.<\/p>\n The official spoke to Sky<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re extremely happy with the work of Luciano Spalletti and his staff. I think that the squad and single players have noticeably improved. We\u2019re convinced we\u2019ll continue together. We\u2019ll sit down with him in the next few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWeston McKennie is doing well, he combines quantity and quality, he\u2019s tireless, and he\u2019s putting up important numbers. We\u2019re in talks with him and his entourage. We want to keep our best contributors.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Juventus exec also dished on Vlahovic.<\/p>\n \u201cThe matter of his renewal isn\u2019t over.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n According to Corriere dello Sport<\/em>, the Serb is eyeing in particular Bayern Munich and Barcelona. He\u2019s more intrigued by the prospect of playing in the Bundesliga or La Liga than in the Premier League.<\/p>\n On the other hand, he asks for a \u20ac10M salary, and his camp demands \u20ac15M commissions. Not many teams can afford him. The Bavarians tested the waters in October but didn\u2019t follow suit. The striker isn\u2019t close to coming to terms with any side.<\/p>\n The Old Lady will be in the mix only if he significantly decreases his requests. It\u2019s hard to imagine they\u2019ll offer more than Kenan Yildiz to any player, currently on their roster or a newcomer. Those numbers also take Milan out of the running despite the chatter, while Inter could come close if they wished to, but they are in excellent shape offensively. It\u2019s shaping up to be a long, topsy-turvy affair with possibly a surprise outcome, like a bridge deal to stay put.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
