Tuttosport reports that Dusan Vlahovic argued during contract talks with Juventus on Wednesday that he should have been paid more than Jonathan David, and the Serbian is now expected to move outside of Serie A, with Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea interested.
‘Why should I be paid the same as David?’ This is the question from Vlahovic that, according to Tuttosport, upset Juventus directors on Wednesday during the final meeting over the striker’s contract extension.

The two parties failed to reach an agreement, meaning Vlahovic will leave Allianz Stadium as a free agent at the end of his contract on June 30.
Juventus director Giorgio Chiellini confirmed the end of negotiations in the evening, suggesting that Vlahovic will likely move abroad, as no Serie A club will be able to match his wage demands.
Tuttosport reports that Napoli have been in discussions with the striker’s camp recently; however, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea have the financial strength to outbid the Partenopei.
Vlahovic earned €12m including add-ons in the final year of his contract in Turin. The Bianconeri had offered him €6m plus add-ons, the same salary as Canada star David, but Vlahovic’s request was €8m plus bonuses.
Juventus, however, have set the maximum salary to €7m per season, a sum that only Kenan Yildiz earns at the Allianz Stadium.
