Dušan Vlahović is set to join Beşiktaş on a free transfer after verbally accepting a three-year contract offer worth €10 million per season, according to reports from Sky Sport and Sportmediaset. The Serbian striker has chosen the Turkish club over competing interest from Atlético Madrid, closing out a five-year chapter with Juventus.
Contract Terms and Free Transfer Status
According to reports from Eurosport, Vlahović has agreed to terms on a three-year deal that will pay him €10 million annually. The move comes as the forward concludes his stint in Turin, allowing Beşiktaş to secure his registration without a transfer fee. Medical examinations and the final signature remain the only administrative steps needed to complete the transition to the Süper Lig, as reported by Europesays.
Reunion With Vincenzo Italiano

The two previously worked together for six months during the 2021 season at Fiorentina before Vlahović moved to Juventus during the winter transfer window. Under Italiano’s management at the Tuscan club, the striker scored 20 goals in 24 appearances across Serie A and the Coppa Italia, according to Europesays.
