On the Juventus-Milan axis, a sensational swap could materialize in the coming weeks of the transfer window. This is reported by SportMediaset, which explains how Dusan Vlahovic could become the new center-forward for the Rossoneri, with Theo Hernandez ready to go the other way and don the black-and-white shirt.
For the moment, the broadcaster explains, we are in the exploratory phase, so no real or concrete negotiations exist yet. But the idea is there: both players seem willing to change scenery, and the destinations could align with their respective goals. Vlahovic has long been a target for Milan, with Massimiliano Allegri pushing for his signing. Theo Hernandez, after difficulties in negotiations with Atletico Madrid and rejecting a move to Saudi Arabia, is still searching for a top-level solution, as relayed via Milan News.
One of the main issues would be the salary: while the transfer valuations are relatively close—Juventus asking 30 million euros for Vlahovic and Milan asking 25 million for Theo—it remains to be seen how the salary expectations of the two players can be reconciled. The Serbian striker is set to earn 12 million euros net next season, an unmatchable figure for Milan, who could reach up to 6 million by spreading his rich salary over several years. Theo, on the other hand, is asking for a 6 million euro net salary per season—the same amount he reportedly requested from Milan during the renewal talks in recent weeks.
