Turin Secures Nikola Vlašić on a Multi-Year Deal
In a decisive move, the Italian club announced the signing of Croatian midfielder Nikola Vlašić to a full contract. Vlašić joins Turin from West Ham United, where he spent the previous season on loan to the Italian side. The new agreement binds him to Turin through the summer of 2027, and reports indicate a total compensation around 12 million euros under the deal.
During the last season under contract with Turin, Vlašić appeared in 34 matches, contributing five goals and six assists. The market value attributed to Vlašić by Transfermarkt places him at 17 million euros, reflecting his continued value in the transfer market. This valuation aligns with his performance trajectory and the responsibilities he is expected to carry in the upcoming seasons for the club.
Vlašić has a substantial European track record, having played 108 games for CSKA Moscow, where he recorded 33 goals and 21 assists. His time in Russia showcased his ability to influence matches from the midfield and demonstrated his scoring threat and creative upside. This background adds depth to Turin’s midfield options and signals a versatile contribution in various tactical setups.
Earlier reporting noted a financial settlement where FIFA instructed West Ham United to pay CSKA Moscow €17.43 million related to Vlašić’s transfer. That figure represents the historical cost context behind Vlašić’s career moves and provides a backdrop to the current contract as Turin solidifies its commitment to the player. The club’s decision to secure Vlašić on a long-term deal reflects an emphasis on building a cohesive and productive midfield core capable of competing at a high level in domestic and European competitions.
