Recruited by Juventus during the winter of 2022 in exchange for a check worth around €80 million, Dusan Vlahovic was announced as leaving last summer due to the Old Lady’s sporting concerns. Under contract until 2026, the Serbian (22 goals in 53 Serie A matches with the Bianconeri) was cited in the sights of PSG, Real Madrid, Chelsea and even Bayern Munich.

In the end, the former Fiorentina resident remained in Piedmont. And today, he says he never wanted to pack up. “No, I was always sure I wanted to stay. There are always rumors, it’s part of the game. If you start listening to everything, you can go crazy. I isolated myself and only thought about the field and in the end I’m glad I stayed. It was what I wanted. (…) I still have two years of contract, we are in no hurry, but Giuntoli (the sporting director) and my agent are already discussing (an extension)”he confided in an interview given to the Gazzetta dello Sport.
