Everton Struggle to Match Vlahovic's Wage Demands

Everton would find it a challenge to match the wage demands of Dusan Vlahovic, the latest report has claimed. With the Premier League set to begin again next month, the Toffees are said to still be on the lookout for offensive reinforcements.

What's at Stake for Everton?

David Moyes's squad was weakened in attack following the end of Jack Grealish's loan spell, and it remains to be seen if they can rely on Iliman Ndiaye to produce another outstanding campaign. The Merseysiders have signed forward Tyrique George, and they have been credited with an interest in striker Vlahovic, whose contract at Juventus has expired.

Why It Matters for Everton

However, TuttoSport claim that Juventus are still in discussions with the 26-year-old over a new deal, and while Everton would like to sign him, they would struggle to afford his wage demands of €9m (£7.68m) per season. This is a significant blow to the Toffees' transfer plans, as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season.

What Comes Next?

The summer transfer window is ramping up across Europe, and Everton will need to act quickly to secure their targets. With the new season just around the corner, the Toffees will be hoping to make some significant signings to boost their chances of success.

As of 26 July 2026, Everton are 13th in the Premier League table, with 49 points from 38 games, and a goal difference of -3. They have scored 47 goals and conceded 50. They are 36 points behind leaders Arsenal and have lost their last four games. Their next fixture is against Chelsea at home on 17 October 2026.
