Three years ago today, Juventus Turin released € 83.5 million to recruit Dusan Vlahovic in La Fiorentina. The major financial effort of the Bianconeri had a clear goal, that of offering a reliable and regular scorer for many years. Except that today the Serb is more than ever pushed towards the exit.
Proof of this is, it has just started the last 3 games on the bench, being content with a few crumbs at the very end of the match, whether against Milan, Bruges and Naples. This is the first time it has been put on the bench so significantly and according to La Gazzetta dello Sportthis is a sporting choice, but not only. Juve clearly shows him the door.
More holder and pushed outside
The recruitment of Randal Kolo Muani, and its first tenure against Naples, were a first index. But the Frenchman was not available for the Champions League a few days earlier against Bruges. Thiago Motta had not aligned Vlahovic, preferring to align Nico Gonzalez in False 9. This may still be the case tomorrow evening with the match against Benfica.
For Juve, the situation is simple: you have to sell Vlahovic, at best this winter, at worst this summer. Before his salary, progressive, increased to € 12 million per year in 2025-2026 against 10.5 at present. The 25 -year -old striker no longer enters the Thiago Motta sports project, and the management's economic project. For his part, the player initially wanted to wait for the end of his contract to find a new club, but time could seem long until 2026 … It remains to be seen whether a club could get him out of the rut by this Monday 3 February, while many of them looking for a number 9.
