Juventus finds itself once again against the Dilemma Dušan Vlahović. Announced on departure throughout last summer, the Serbian striker remains pushed towards the exit by a determined direction to sell it from the winter transfer window. Chelsea and Manchester United closely monitors his file and could take action in January to avoid increased competition according to the Gazetta dello Sport. In the meantime, Dušan Vlahović clings to the field: again decisive by coming into play against Parma, Genoa or against Dortmund, he continues to recall that he remains an offensive weapon of weight, even confined to a replacement role behind David and Openda, who, too, seem in doubt.

However, the hierarchy in attack remains vague in Turin. Jonathan David and Loïs Openda embody the future and especially heavy investments that the club wants to make profitable, while Vlahović weighs with his salary of 12 million euros and an end of contract already fixed at 2026. Igor Tudor, for his part, juggles the need to protect his recruits and the immediate efficiency of the Serbian, often more impactful when leaving the bench. A fragile balance which illustrates the paradoxes of a Juventus always in search of offensive stability. Case to follow.
