Attributed to original sourceFormer Juventus and Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic has agreed a three-year contract with Besiktas, claim reports in Turkiye, reuniting with Vincenzo Italiano.
The centre-forward was a free agent after his contract with Juventus was allowed to expire on June 30.
He had been expecting a flood of proposals to come in from the likes of Milan, Napoli and Roma within Serie A, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal or Manchester United abroad.
However, nobody was prepared to meet his salary demands.

What happened
Dusan Vlahovic is set to leave Juventus and join Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas on a three-year deal, described as a 'done deal' by Football Italia. The Serbian striker had struggled for consistency and goal-scoring form at Juventus, and the move represents a fresh start for the 25-year-old. Besiktas are securing a high-profile forward as they look to strengthen their squad, while Juventus free up a significant wage bill and squad space.
Chance analysis
Vlahovic's departure from Juventus closes one of the more underwhelming chapters of recent Serie A transfer history — a €75m+ signing from Fiorentina who never consistently delivered at the level expected. For Besiktas, acquiring a player of Vlahovic's profile and marketability is a major coup in the Turkish market, though questions remain about his recent form and motivation. Juventus gain wage relief and can redirect resources in attack.
Juventus lose a high-profile but underperforming striker, freeing wages and a squad spot; Besiktas significantly strengthen their attack with a marquee signing.
Adjust Juventus attack projections downward slightly and raise Besiktas attacking ceiling in Turkish Super Lig; Vlahovic's minutes and output will be key indicators of revival.
