9 - Dusan Vlahovic

Why Juventus would listen to Arsenal offer for Vlahovic

 

 

Arsenal are reportedly among the clubs monitoring Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, and the Bianconeri are ready to listen to offers for the Serbian for more than a reason. ............

 

The Serbia international has a contract expiring in 2026 and all the most reliable Italian sources claim that he and his entourage are unwilling to extend under Juventus’ conditions.

 

Vlahovic’s salary automatically increased to €12m this season, making him the highest-paid player in the league.

 

Juventus want to spread his wages over a longer period, but Vlahovic is unwilling to do so.

 

This means the Old Lady will have to consider offers for him in January or during the summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer in a year. ............

 

Motta has never admitted it publicly, but Vlahovic is not the ideal centre-forward for his playing style, given that the Juventus coach prefers link-up strikers like, for example, Joshua Zirkzee. Even Fabio Capello has recently warned Motta against expecting from Vlahovic the same he wanted from Zirkzee at Bologna last season.

 

Juventus are also on the verge of signing Randal Kolo Muani on loan from PSG, but the French striker’s signature is unrelated to Vlahovic’s transfer situation. ............

The agent of Dusan Vlahovic raises eyebrows by landing in Turin amidst Arsenal links

 

 

Darko Ristic, who acts as the agent of Dusan Vlahovic, has arrived in Turin, thus raising eyebrows amongst the Juventus and Arsenal fanbases alike. ............

 

The Serbian striker’s future at the club has been the topic of a raging debate over the past few weeks. The 24-year-old has been the club’s leading goalscorer over the past few campaigns, including this one. However, many feel he has yet to justify the 84 million euros the club splashed to sign him from Fiorentina in January 2022, and the same goes for his €12 million net salary per year.

 

Moreover, the bomber’s contract is set to expire in June 2026, so the Bianconeri are gradually losing their leverage over his future. ............

 

In recent days, reports all over Europe have been claiming that Arsenal have rekindled their interest in the player. The Gunners had already attempted to sway Vlahovic before he eventually chose Juventus. ............

 

But the attacker’s sale is not a possibility that Juventus are willing to discuss at the moment, despite the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani. The source thus expects the Serbia international to dwell at Continassa at least until the end of the season. ............

The free fall – Why Vlahovic could soon become third choice at Juventus

 

 

While he was an omnipresent figure in the Juventus starting lineup at the start of the season, Dusan Vlahovic could be set for a major fall from grace.

 

The Serbian bomber is the club’s biggest investment since signing Cristiano Ronaldo, and is currently the highest earner in Serie A with a net salary of 12 million euros per year. So despite being the club’s leading goalscorer in each of the most recent campaigns (and the current one), most fans and pundits believe he hasn’t done enough to justify these hefty figures. ............

 

Nico Gonzalez is proving to be a more convincing option for Motta, despite his almost non-existent goal contribution. ............

 

And while Gonzalez hasn’t been prolific in front of goal, many have noted that the team plays better with him in the lineup, as at least they manage to move the ball smoothly in the attacking third and maintain possession.

 

Moreover, Randal Kolo Muani has been training with his new Juventus teammates in recent days. ............

 

Hence, the Frenchman’s arrival could push Vlahovic further down the pecking order, potentially leaving him third on the list.

Italian journalist insists Thiago Motta ‘doesn’t like’ struggling Juventus star

 

 

Paolo Condo believes Juventus coach Thiago Motta isn’t a big fan of Dusan Vlahovic, especially following his recent disappointing displays. ............

 

Luckily for the former Bologna tactician, the timely arrival of Randal Kolo Muani could solve this dilemma once and for all. Despite Juve’s defeat in Naples, the Frenchman proved he can be Motta’s answer for the striker role, as he has the ability to combine with his teammates in the buildup play, while also showcasing his instinct for goals by scoring on his debut.

 

On the other hand, Vlahovic’s future in Turin looks increasingly sombre, especially with contract negotiations going nowhere. ............

 

“It’s clear that Thiago Motta doesn’t like Vlahovic, he wants him to participate in the team’s manoeuvre and Kolo Muani has shown he can do it,” noted the veteran journalist.

 

“I don’t think Dusan will recover his starting place. So between what Juventus paid to sign him and what he earns, Juventus must do the maths well.”

 

Vlahovic has also been linked with a potential move to Arsenal who are on the lookout for a new striker after losing Gabriel Jesus to injury. ............

Juventus is actively making plans to replace Vlahovic now

 

 

Every football contract has an expiry date, which is why it is rare to see players spend their entire careers at one club. While some players move frequently, others see a transfer to a major team as an opportunity to settle and build a legacy. Many of the current Juventus players would likely be eager to remain at the club for as long as possible, cementing their place at one of Europe’s most storied teams.

 

However, this sentiment might not apply to Dusan Vlahovic, whose future at Juventus has become increasingly uncertain. The Serbian striker, once seen as a crucial part of the Bianconeri’s plans, now finds himself facing significant challenges to regain his place in the starting XI. ............

 

Juventus are now actively exploring potential replacements for Vlahovic, with plans to reshape their attacking line next summer. The shortlist reportedly includes high-profile names like Victor Osimhen, who has been in stellar form for Napoli, and Joshua Zirkzee, a promising young striker making waves in Europe. ............

 

 Once a rising star and a pivotal player for Juventus, he now faces the prospect of being phased out of the team entirely. The striker must consider his future carefully, as his importance to the club has diminished in recent months. ............

Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic rejects Al Nassr move

 

 

Serie A side Juventus have seen Al Nassr come forward for Dusan Vlahovic, who is having a difficult time at the club.

 

The Serbian has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent days, as poor form and the lack of progress about a new deal has led to uncertainty about his future at Juve.

 

Al Nassr have tried to take advantage of this and they made an offer for him. Stefano Pioli was the man behind the move but Vlahovic’s response was a rather firm ‘no’, despite the riches on offer. The striker didn’t take the move into consideration at all. ............

Repubblica: Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz want Juventus exit

 

 

La Repubblica newspaper reports that Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz want to leave Juventus, while other players are ‘surprised’ by how Thiago Motta has treated Nicolò Fagioli and Danilo.

 

Juventus stars Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz wants to leave Juventus as they are not on good terms with coach Thiago Motta, according to La Repubblica. ............

 

Both Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz went straight into the Allianz Stadium tunnel on Wednesday and didn’t wave at the fans after a 2-0 loss against Benfica.

 

Vlahovic has less than 18 months left in his contract with Juventus and the Bianconeri are ready to listen to offers for the Serbian, although his exit seems unlikely this month.

 

On the other hand, Douglas Luiz has attracted interest from some Premier League clubs, including Manchester City. ............

Juventus has now made a definite decision on Dusan Vlahovic

 

 

Will Dušan Vlahović remain a Juventus player beyond this season? That is one of the biggest questions on the minds of the Old Lady’s supporters.

 

The Serbian striker has struggled to adapt to the system of new manager Thiago Motta, and Juventus are determined to build a squad composed only of players who fit their tactical vision. Vlahović’s performances have been inconsistent, raising doubts over his long-term future at the Allianz Stadium. ............

 

Juventus have already made the decision to offload him at the end of the season. The club no longer sees him as a key part of their future and does not want to risk losing him as a free agent when his contract eventually runs down. Selling him in the summer would allow them to recoup a significant transfer fee and reinvest in a striker better suited to their needs.

 

The recent arrival of Randal Kolo Muani further signals a shift in Juventus’ attacking plans. With the Frenchman already making an impact, the writing appears to be on the wall for Vlahović. The Bianconeri now view him as a temporary presence in the squad rather than a long-term asset. ............

Vlahovic equals Cristiano Ronaldo & Lautaro Martinez record against Cagliari

 

 

On Sunday night, Juventus secured a hard-fought victory over Cagliari with Dusan Vlahovic emerging as the ultimate hero.

 

The Serbian made his return to the starting lineup after six matches on the bench. Thiago Motta decided to give him the nod at the expense of Randal Kolo Muani who was granted some rest. The Serbian obliged by scoring the goal that separated the two sides. He latched onto a heavy touch from his old nemesis Yerry Mina and rounded Elia Caprile before placing the ball in the empty net. ............

 

Since his arrival in Turin back in January 2022, Vlahovic is only the fifth Serie A player to reach 50 50-goal contributions for a single club. He now has 42 strikes to his name and eight assists. He has thus joined an elusive club that includes Lautaro Martinez with Inter Milan (78), Rafael Leao with AC Milan (61), Ademola Lookman with Atalanta (59) and Victor Osimhen with Napoli (54).

 

Moreover, no striker has scored more goals against Cagliari since the 2019/20 campaign. He has now found the back of the net against the Sardinian club on eight occasions, thus equaling the tally of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lautaro Martinez. ............

Vlahovic rejected a 12m euros per season offer from Europe to stay at Juventus

 

 

Dusan Vlahovic’s future remains a major talking point at Juventus as the Serbian striker approaches the final stages of his contract. With less than two years remaining on his current deal, there is still no certainty regarding what will happen next, leaving fans and pundits speculating about his future at the club. ............

 

Juventus have confidence in his ability to remain a key player, but the possibility of him not signing a new deal has left the club in a difficult position. The Bianconeri are reportedly open to his departure should an acceptable offer arrive, and there were already approaches made in the last transfer window.

 

It was not just clubs from Saudi Arabia that made an effort to sign Vlahovic. The report claims that Fenerbahce also expressed interest in securing his signature and were willing to meet the €12 million per season wage that Juventus are keen to avoid paying. However, despite the opportunity to move, Vlahovic turned down the proposal, opting to remain in Turin for the time being. ............

De Paola claims Vlahovic does not deserve 12m euros per season

 

 

Dusan Vlahović has been a key figure for Juventus since his arrival, establishing himself as one of the highest-paid players in Serie A. As he enters the final year of his contract, the Serbian striker is set to earn a staggering €12 million net per season, a figure that has become a point of contention between him and the club. Juventus is keen to extend his deal but wants him to take a pay cut—something Vlahović is reluctant to accept. Instead, he is determined to prove his worth on the pitch and justify his salary. However, at the moment, his performances are falling short of expectations. ............

 

But does the Serbian actually play like a €12 million-per-season striker? According to journalist Paolo De Paola, the answer is a resounding no. He was particularly critical of Vlahović’s overall technical ability and recent performances. He said: “He has no ball control, he takes an absurd penalty, he seems neurotic when he touches the ball. He earns 12 million a year, a million a month. He’s a dud.” ............

“As if he’s doing a favour” – Former Juventus star infuriated by Vlahovic’s attitude

 

 

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic irritated Emanuele Giaccherini with the way he conducted himself on the pitch. ............

 

The Serbian has lost his starting berth since the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani in January, and aside from his winner in Cagliari, he had done little to warrant a return to the lineup. Nevertheless, Thiago Motta introduced the 25-year-old as his fifth and last substitution on Sunday.

 

With the scoreboard already showing 3-0 at that point, this was obviously nothing more than a “Hail Mary” on the manager’s part. But while most of us weren’t expecting Vlahovic to score, few would have imagined he’d end up causing a fourth goal for Atalanta. ............

 

The former Fiorentina man slipped to the ground while attempting a pass, allowing La Dea to swiftly surge forward and deliver one more blow to the carcass.

 

For his part, Giacherini was absolutely livid with the Serbian international, berating the attitude he donned while entering the pitch.

 

“Vlahovic entered with this attitude, as if he was almost doing the team a favor,” said the former Juventus and Cesena winger during his appearance on DAZN. ............

The player who has started enjoying life again under Tudor at Juventus

 

 

By the end of Thiago Motta’s tenure as Juventus manager, he appeared to have fallen out with many of his players. This may explain why only a select few publicly sent him farewell messages following his departure from the club. The absence of well-wishes from many squad members has led fans to speculate whether there was a deeper rift between Motta and his team. ............

 

Tudor is already focusing on his first major task: securing three points against Genoa this weekend. His arrival appears to have lifted the mood in the dressing room, with several players reportedly excited about the new direction. ............

 

Several Juventus players are pleased with Tudor’s appointment and are already embracing his methods. The report highlights that one player in particular who seems to have rediscovered his enthusiasm is Dušan Vlahović. Under Motta, the Serbian striker was largely frozen out of the squad, but he is now determined to make an impact under the new manager.

 

Vlahović is reportedly putting in additional training sessions on his days off to maintain peak fitness and ensure he is ready to contribute to the team’s success. His renewed work ethic suggests that he is eager to prove himself and play a pivotal role in Juventus’ resurgence. ............

“He was determined but…” – Tudor reveals one thing he didn’t like about Vlahovic

 

 

New Juventus manager Igor Tudor might be a keen admirer of Dusan Vlahovic, but he was still irritated by one of his old habits. ............

 

The coach immediately entrusted the Serbia international with a starting spot on his Juventus managerial debut against Genoa.

 

Tudor was seemingly hoping to see the striker reconcile with the goal, so he kept him on the pitch for the duration of the match. ............

 

“Dusan did well. He was determined. But I didn’t like that he talked too much with the referee,” noted the former Marseille and Lazio manager in his post-match press conference.

 

“You just waste energy on this thing. He has to stay inside the box. The referee could have booked him on a few occasions. But I liked his performance. He went deep and seemed hungry to score.”

 

It remains to be seen if Tudor will confirm Vlahovic as a starter over the next few fixtures or a chance to Kolo Muani. ............

Pellissier insists Vlahovic should not be missing the goals he misses

 

 

Juventus is one of the biggest clubs in Europe and expects excellence from its players, especially those brought in to lead the team’s attack. In recent seasons, one name has generated more debate than most, Dusan Vlahovic. Once seen as a guaranteed star and the future of the Juventus frontline, his performances have not lived up to the high expectations set by the club and its supporters. ............

 

The Serbian striker has played under multiple managers in Turin and has not truly flourished under any of them. The current boss, Igor Tudor, has made tactical adjustments, but Vlahovic has not found the regular goalscoring form the club demands. His inability to take clear chances in key games has been a major concern and has sparked widespread criticism.

 

Former Serie A striker Sergio Pellissier was blunt in his assessment of the forward’s recent form. He said:

 

“Vlahovic? If I had missed the goals he missed, I would not have played anymore. Someone who plays for Juve cannot afford certain mistakes, otherwise you are not a Juve player. He missed a great opportunity, and 12 million a year is a lot. For that amount, you always have to make the difference.” ............

 

Pellissier’s comments reflect the growing frustration around Vlahovic’s performances. At a club where winning is part of the DNA, costly missed chances are not easily forgiven. Fans expect their striker to be decisive in front of goal, especially when games are tight. Every point matters, and Juventus has dropped too many this season due in part to a lack of cutting edge.

 

There is also increasing pressure from the club hierarchy. With Juventus constantly evaluating the squad’s direction, decisions may need to be made in the summer. If Vlahovic cannot prove himself as the right striker for this system, the Bianconeri could choose to cash in and pursue alternatives like Jonathan David. ............

Juventus confirm Dusan Vlahovic suffered muscle injury against Parma

 

 

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic picked up a knock during Wednesday’s contest against Parma. The club has now shared an update on his condition. ............

 

As for Vlahovic, it was first believed that Igor Tudor decided to hook him off due to his limited impact in the final third, but it was later revealed that he sustained a muscle injury which cut his outing short.

 

 

Therefore, the Serbian underwent the necessary tests at the club’s J|Medical Centre on Thursday, and the results confirmed a muscle overload.

 

“Dusan Vlahovic underwent diagnostic examinations today at J|Medical, which revealed a muscular overload in the rectus femoris of his right thigh. His condition will be monitored daily,” revealed the note posted on the official Juventus website. ............

 

The striker is out of Sunday’s contest against Monza, but the door is open for a potential return in the vital showdown against Bologna at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on May 4th.

 

With Vlahovic ruled out of the weekend contest, Kolo Muani is almost certain of a starting spot, as he remains the only available striker for Tudor. ............
