Juventus director Francesco Calvo says that Dusan Vlahovic is not for sale, despite links with Manchester United and Chelsea.

Juventus have no plans to sell forward Dusan Vlahovic during the summer transfer window, according to director Francesco Calvo.

At the beginning of 2022, the Italian giants won the hotly-contested race for the Serbia international, who had previously starred at Fiorentina.

Vlahovic has since chipped in with 23 goals and six assists from 63 appearances in all competitions, a respectable return given the step up in quality.

However, it has been claimed in recent days that the 23-year-old is unsettled at Juventus and his club are open to recouping the €80m that they shelled out less than 18 months ago.

Chelsea have been credited with an interest by the player's agent, although it is unclear whether the Blues are yet to make a formal offer as has been been reported.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are said to be monitoring the situation with Vlahovic potentially costing less than the likes of Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

Nevertheless, according to Calvo, Juventus have no intention of entertaining any offers for Vlahovic when the transfer market reopens in the coming weeks.

Speaking to DAZN, as quoted by Football Italia, Calvo said: "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."

Calvo's comments came on the same evening where it was revealed that Juventus had been docked 10 points in Serie A due to irregularities over their transfer dealings.

As a result, Massimiliano Allegri's side dropped from second to seventh place in the standings, ruling them out of the race for the Champions League.

That was also a consequence of the surprise 4-1 defeat at the hands of Empoli on Monday night, Vlahovic playing the full 90 minutes but not making a contribution.

Juventus can still qualify for next season's Europa League, the current gap to fifth-placed Atalanta BC standing at two points.
