I want to get 10 million in the annual salary of 12 million? Vlahovic s agent is too greedy

On July 8, according to the Italian "Republic", the agent of Serbian striker Vlahovic actually asked for a "breakup fee" of 10 million euros when communicating with Juventus. He plans to share the money equally with the players, that is, each person gets 5 million euros. Juventus made it clear that it was impossible to give. Once this plot was disclosed, it immediately caused huge controversy in Serie A and even the entire European football world. A player who performs poorly, is squeezed out of the main lineup, and has the maximum salary in the team, but his agent still wants the club to "spend money to give it to others"?

This is not a negotiation, but a naked blackmail.

Vlahovic's "giant contract" became the burden of Juventus

In 2019, Vlahovic emerged in Florence, with comprehensive technology and strong explosive power, and was considered the next Ibrahimovic. When the Zebras spent more than 80 million euros to put him in the account, fans were full of expectations and believed that this was a key step in Juventus' reconstruction.

But reality quickly slapped the face.

In the two seasons of the Zebras, Vlahovic's data did not fulfill his original value. Injuries, tactical adaptation problems, and psychological pressure followed one after another. Last season, the starting position was directly snatched by new aid Muani.

**Juventus provided him with a super contract with an annual salary of 12 million euros after tax, which is already the top Serie A treatment. **Looking at the five major European leagues, only a very small number of players can get similar salaries. Comparing the data and performance he contributed, this annual salary is obviously no longer reasonable.

Therefore, Juventus has long listed him as one of the targets of cleaning, but it has been difficult to operate smoothly due to contract and market reactions.

AC Milan wants to buy it, but the salary requirements are prohibitive

It is reported that AC Milan has issued a transfer offer of 20 million euros, hoping to introduce Vlahovic. But the deal soon came to a deadlock because the player's salary requirements were too high.

Vlahovic is unwilling to cut his salary, while Milan has always been very careful and cannot afford to pay tens of millions of euros to match his annual salary.

In other words, no one is willing to take risks for a striker who is "unstable and overpaid", so Juventus is in a difficult situation.

At this time, Vlahovic's agent attacked the other side, asking Juventus for 10 million euros of "breakup fee" - this idea is actually equivalent to forcing the club to bow their heads and lose money to clear people.

The boundary between "breakup fee" and "commission" is gradually blurring

In European football, the existence of agents is a key role in protecting the interests of players and promoting transactions. But in recent years, the role of brokers has become more and more like financial brokers, and it is no longer new to seek huge commissions during the transaction process.

Now, "breakup fee" is more like a gray operation - the agent threatens to leave the team and forces the club to pay to clear the field.

Juventus' new management obviously sees this through. The past operation era of "only recognizing big names and not paying any losses or profits" has ended. Today, Juventus senior executives are more pragmatic and pay more attention to fiscal balance. McKenney's contract renewal was stranded due to commission issues, which is a clear proof.

Zebra Legion is "taking a knife" against its agent, and this rejection of Vlahovic's team may be just the beginning.

Do not want to cut salary, do not want to leave, and want to share money. Such players will be eliminated by the market

In theory, it is understandable that Vlahovic wants to stay until the end of his contract in 2026 and leave the team as a free agent, so as to obtain a signing fee. But now he is unwilling to cut salary or be a substitute, but he still wants the club to pay to "drive him away". This mentality is the real problem.

And his agent obviously took advantage of this situation and tried to "make the last profit" from it.

But now European football is no longer an era of spending money. Even clubs like Chelsea and Paris are frantically selling players to clear up redundancy.

Vlahovic's image of "high salary + inefficiency + unwilling to leave" is accelerating its elimination by the market.

Juventus' firm rejection is a signal to the entire football world

Juventus is no longer the wealthy family that is willing to be led by his agent. Regardless of whether Vlahovic will eventually stay or not, this farce of "requesting for breakup fees" has sent a signal: if players and agents only want to grab the "last bite of wool" in the contract, they will only be excluded from the real professional system.

The market is realistic, and every penny must be worthy of performance. For Vlahovic, it is time to let go and take responsibility for his next step.
