Dusan Vlahovic is one of twelve high-profile players whose contracts with Serie A clubs expire on June 30th, leaving them free to negotiate with other teams from July 1st, according to reports in Gazzetta dello Sport. The group also includes experienced players such as Luka Modric, Paulo Dybala, and Stefan de Vrij, creating a potentially significant shift in the Italian top flight.
Vlahovic, the Serbian striker, joined Juventus from Fiorentina in January 2022 for a reported €70 million, quickly establishing himself as a key goalscorer. He has scored 21 goals in 62 Serie A appearances for the Old Lady, but his future in Turin remains uncertain with contract negotiations ongoing. The 24-year-old’s potential departure would represent a blow to Juventus’ attacking options.
Roma have the most players facing expiring contracts, with several renewal discussions currently underway. Francesco Acerbi, Zeki Celik, and Filip Kostic are among those whose futures at the club are unresolved. Elsewhere, veteran goalkeeper Yann Sommer, currently at Inter Milan, is also set to become a free agent.
Luka Modric’s situation is particularly noteworthy, as the 38-year-old Croatian midfielder continues to perform at a high level for Lazio despite his age. Paulo Dybala, who has impressed for Roma since joining in 2022, is another player attracting attention from clubs across Europe. Stephan El Shaarawy and Lorenzo Pellegrini also find themselves in a similar position, with their current deals set to expire at the end of the month.
Remo Freuler, currently at Bologna, and Jamie Vardy, whose move to Serie A was a surprise last summer, complete the list of notable players facing uncertain futures. The availability of these players could trigger a flurry of transfer activity as clubs seek to bolster their squads ahead of next season. The situation presents opportunities for both the players themselves and clubs looking for experienced talent on a free transfer.
