The home defeat to Fiorentina has dropped Juventus from third to sixth place, almost officially eliminating qualification for next season's Champions League. This scenario would result in an estimated loss of between 70 and 80 million euros, a serious blow that risks having major consequences in the transfer market, from signings to departures and renewals.
Will Vlahovic renew without the Champions League?
The most complicated knot is related to Dusan Vlahovic, whose renewal seems even more difficult. The club's proposal has been stopped at a base of 6 million euros per season, a figure that would halve the Serbian striker's current salary. The footballer continues to dream of higher-level stages – Barcelona and Bayern Munich above all – and it seems difficult for him to accept giving up the most prestigious European competition.
Bernardo Silva and Alisson's situation
The absence of the European elite would irreparably complicate the race for Bernardo Silva, who is expected to leave Manchester City with zero parameters. The Portuguese fantasy has postponed any decision near the World Cup, but would hardly accept the Europa League, preferring options like Barcelona. It could be different with Alisson: the 33-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper of Liverpool is said to already have a preliminary agreement for a three-year contract and would be willing to join the black and white project even without the Champions League, on condition that the team immediately fights for the championship title.
Juventus, what sales without the Champions League?
Then there is the issue of possible departures. The main candidate to leave is Gleison Bremer, who is coming off a season with ups and downs and has been plagued by fitness issues. The defender has expressed his desire to fight for European targets, so the leaders would not oppose a transfer for him in the face of a significant offer from the Premier League.
English clubs are also closely monitoring Khephren Thuram and Francisco Conceiçao, two profiles with a strong market abroad and who could provide vital surplus value. Andrea Cambiaso's position is also under observation after a not very convincing season. However, the black and white leaders have no intention of disbanding the team and have armored Kenan Yildiz as the only absolutely unsellable element.
