Juventus’ victory on the Monza pitch yesterday (2-1) did not go smoothly. Indeed, the Old Lady’s Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic expressed his dissatisfaction at the time of his replacement, angrily banging a bottle near the sidelines. A gesture of frustration for a player who has been struggling in recent weeks, despite a total of 12 goals in 21 matches in all competitions this season.
On the Juventus side, we tried to calm things down, Thiago Motta wanting to be reassuring at a press conference. “Vlahovic nervous? Dusan gave a great performance, I’m happy with what he did”. It is perhaps the player’s contractual situation which can explain this kind of knee-jerk reaction. Under contract until 2026, Vlahovic is waiting for Juve to give him a sign for a possible contract extension. “The relationship with the boy and the agent is extraordinary, we decided to meet after the transfer window. With one year left on his contract, he still has plenty of time left. to fix things and move forward together as best we can”explained for his part sports director Cristiano Giuntoli.
