Juventus’ CFO Francesco Calvo has affirmed his stance that Serbian forward Dusan Vlahovic is not for sale this summer, despite being heavily linked with moves to Manchester United and Chelsea.
Manchester United and Chelsea target Dusan Vlahovic has been marked as ‘not for sale’ by Juventus CFO Francesco Calvo.
The Bianconeri have now dropped to seventh in Serie A due to a ten-point deduction, and will likely now miss out on Champions League football next term.
This news was confirmed on Monday, which was swiftly followed by an embarrassing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Empoli.
Juve now sit five points outside of the Champions League qualification places, with just two weeks remaining in the Italian top-flight season.
Despite Vlahovic being linked with a move to the Premier League, and Juventus likely missing out on Champions League football, Calvo affirmed his stance that the Serbian would not be for sale during the summer window.

Speaking to DAZN, Calvo confirmed that their star forward is not for sale.
“Rumours are not something we can control, but the transfer market hasn’t even opened yet.
“Dusan is not for sale. We are satisfied with the effort he puts in, although everyone in life can do better,” he said.
Calvo then went on to defend under-fire manager Massimiliano Allegri.
“There are no doubts, Massimiliano Allegri will be our coach next season. We’re building our future together with him. We’ve unconditional trust in Allegri,” he added.
