Luca Toni praises Juventus for not swapping Vlahovic for Lukaku

 

 

Juventus reportedly explored the possibility of swapping Dusan Vlahovic for Romelu Lukaku during the summer transfer window, a move driven by Vlahovic’s struggles at the club. Lukaku, an accomplished striker, had played a pivotal role in Inter Milan’s Serie A triumph in 2021, and his track record with various top clubs added to his appeal.

 

Despite Lukaku being perceived as a more reliable option, the proposed swap didn’t materialise as Juventus encountered difficulties in offloading Vlahovic. Consequently, Lukaku ended up joining AS Roma on loan instead.

 

The potential decision to sell Vlahovic to acquire Lukaku was met with scepticism from many Juventus supporters, and this sentiment was shared by former player Luca Toni. ............

 

“I have always been sceptical, and I even told you so. Juventus did well to keep Vlahovic.”

 

Asked if Vlahovic should be sold for 90m euros now, he added: 

 

“No, not even for 100. He is strong, and young. And these figures will also arrive in the future for someone like Vlahovic, destined to become one of the best nine in Europe”. ............

Cesare Prandelli explains what has changed for in-form Vlahovic

 

 

Cesare Prandelli, the former Fiorentina coach, has provided insight into Dusan Vlahovic’s recent run of top form. The Serbian striker initially faced challenges at the start of the season, experiencing ups and downs during his spell at Juventus.

“First of all, he left behind the ailments that perhaps did not guarantee him this physical and mental tranquility, because if one is not well he cannot perform… But it must also be said that in the last few matches the continuity of performances of the team has helped him Juventus: now the midfield is oriented more towards him, without forcing him to always go towards the ball. 

 

“We know that he is relentless in the area, and now what we said in the past is being confirmed. Dusan has more confidence and control, but he is also the team that has changed.” ............

Former Juventus man explains why Vlahovic is better than Lautaro Martinez

 

 

Ahead of the Derby d’Italia this weekend, one intriguing on-field battle is between Dusan Vlahovic and Lautaro Martinez. ............

 

Former Juventus man Stefano Tacconi is impressed with both stars, but he is convinced that Vlahovic has an edge over Martinez and reveals this:

 

“In my opinion, Vlahovic is stronger with his head, left foot and right foot, while Lautaro is certainly a goalscorer who steals and also scores heavy goals. Vlahovic is stronger at manoeuvring in the area, while Lautaro is more fearsome from outside the area. shots are truly deadly. Since the match is being played at San Siro, I think Lautaro is the one who can suffer the most pressure while Vlahovic has learned to manage the frenzy if he doesn’t score straight away.” ............

Vlahovic Turns Down Latest Contract Offer from Juventus

 

 

Juventus recently made another attempt to prolong the contract of Dusan Vlahovic, but their efforts were in vain. His agent Darko Ristic was on the San Siro stands for the recent clash with Inter. The parties touched base afterward, but there were no notable advancements.

 

The Bianconeri want to re-do the deal not for its length but for economic reasons. The wages of the Serb are set to increase to €12M in the coming seasons. It’s an unsustainable sum for their balance sheets.

 

Juventus proposed to the Vlahovic camp to dilute his salary by tacking on a few more years. The ideal annual figure for the team would be a more manageable €8M. The request was rebuffed.

 

Instead, the striker might accept if the Bianconeri proposed €10M per year until 2028. The club hasn’t gotten there so far. ............

Juventus Superstar Looking Forward to New Era in Turin

 

 

A new era at Juventus is about to get underway as Thiago Motta prepares to take over from the sacked Massimiliano Allegri. Star frontman Dusan Vlahovic is enthusiastic about the new chapter in Turin, insisting the Bianconeri must return into the Scudetto frame after a four-year barren run.

 

“Juventus are one of the biggest clubs in the world, the biggest in Italy, and accustomed to winning trophies every year,” Vlahovic was adamant: “We were in the running for the Scudetto until February, but in the end, Inter won deservedly, and there are no doubts about that.

 

“This next season could be a launching pad for us. We’ve seen that we can do it, so Juventus must get back to winning the Scudetto, or at least having the ambition to do so.“ ............

 

Among those who could benefit from Motta’s vision, Vlahovic occupies a special place. Not even Allegri’s destructive way of playing prevented the Serbia international from tallying 18 goals in 38 competitive appearances last term. The figures could only go up under Motta.

 

There’s a feeling the ex-Inter midfielder could help Vlahovic become the best version of himself and, in turn, make Juventus a more attractive team to watch. The club is already taking the necessary steps to back their new manager. ............
