Juventus have initiated discussions to secure a replacement striker as Dusan Vlahovic prepares to leave as a free agent in less than a month.

Juventus accelerate striker search with Vlahovic departure confirmed
Vlahovic has decided against signing a new deal at the Allianz Stadium and will leave the club as a free agent on June 30. This decision means Juventus will need at least one new centre-forward for the 2026-27 season, prompting immediate action in the transfer market.
Conflicting reports have emerged regarding Juventus’ primary target among their shortlisted candidates. Sky Sport suggests that Atletico Madrid’s Sorloth has become their main focus following a recent meeting with his agents, while Gazzetta reports that Kolo Muani tops the Old Lady’s wishlist.
PSG expect to sell former Juventus loanee Kolo Muani for at least €30m this summer, according to reports. Crystal Palace’s Mateta represents another established target, with the Bianconeri having already held talks for the French forward during the January window.
The Serie A giants have also placed ex-Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez on their agenda, though the Uruguay international sits in the ‘second row’ among their targets. TMW claims that Juventus are additionally monitoring Galatasaray’s Mauro Icardi and PSG’s Gonçalo Ramos as potential options.
