This is what worries me about Haaland, or any of these big deals. So many players moving on a free this summer, a lot who went for more than 80mil. Mbappe, Pogba, Dembele, Coutinho etc.Viola nation said this. Its a fan site but the guy who runs it has contacts at Fiorentina. Apparently Vlahovics agent has a deal where he gets a huge commission if Vlahovic goes to Juve on a free and doesn't sign a contract extension with Fiorentina. Apparently Fiorentina have tried to give everything to Vlahovic to sign a new deal but his agent is not listening or even contemplating a contract extension for his client.
From what the guy from Viola nation said.
The rumour is that Vlahovics agent is not picking up the phone to fiorentina as he's been in discussions with Juve about Vlahovic leaving pocketing a big signing bonus and his agent getting a massive commission. Either Juve get him on a free or they stiff Fiorentina when Vlahovic has one year left to get him on a cheap deal, which Fiorentina can’t do anything about.
Probably gearing up for the latter (if any of it is true). Can't see Vlahovic waiting about a year and a half, on low wages, if he gets offers from top clubs and his agent does as well. 6 monts till the summer, sure. All summer and then another year, really don't think so. Particularly as Juventus would need to get themselves back into title and CL contention.
Agent apparently will get a 10 to 25 million euro commission if Vlahovic goes Juve on a free.

Perhaps Vlahovic is one of these odd cases where they are so loyal to their agent they can't see past it.Doubt Vlahovic decides his career based on what his agent will get if he waits an extra year.

Sums up the current situation..so many guys refusing to sign new contracts waiting for a bigger payout..the 6 year contract will be the new norm or transfer fees will drop..players can not have it both ways..the times are changing.This is what worries me about Haaland, or any of these big deals.

If you’ve not got an extension 3 years in, it’s a real game of cat and mouse between us and the agent.
But yeah, if he’s set on a move to Juve, good luck to him.
If we flip that round, agents are also being paid handsomly to be the punching bag. For all we know Vlahovic wants Juventus and the 20m euros that goes in his pocket as well, he doesnt mind employing this fella if hes going to take all the shit in the media for him.These "agents" that are this way inclined imo need to be shut out of football totally. It is a bad road to go down. When the client is being used as a tool for the agent to milk amounts they have not earned or deserve from clubs with them calling the shots it should be very clear this needs stopping. They get paid handsomly as it is, If they want more get your boots on you leeching greasy rats.
Not arsed if he comes here or not, this is not me, a blue seeing his arse because of an agent on an individual transfer. This just screams out to me as a horrible mechanic being levered into the game. Football will never benefit from this, only a few agents with eyes only for money and who will take a big shit on the game to get it will prosper.
Agents should be assistants basically, not people to be appeased and woo'd by clubs. It is the players who should be in that position with agents there to facilitate the players desires, not the other way around or even close to it.
