Marco Tardelli urges Tudor to put faith in Vlahovic

 

 

Igor Tudor is facing increasing pressure to make a decisive call on his first-choice striker at Juventus, and the uncertainty surrounding this decision is beginning to affect the team’s performances. The Bianconeri have several talented forwards at their disposal, yet finding a consistent goal-scorer has become a significant challenge for the manager. ............

 

Jonathan David, signed to eventually replace Vlahovic, has been struggling to find the back of the net. His performances so far have not met expectations, and this lack of end product is putting additional pressure on the team.

 

Lois Openda, another forward brought in as part of the club’s long-term planning, has also found goals hard to come by. Despite showing flashes of promise, he has yet to deliver the level of consistency required at a club of Juventus’ stature. As a result, Vlahovic continues to play a crucial role, often coming off the bench to make an impact, even though his future lies elsewhere. ............

 

This situation could ultimately shape Tudor’s time in charge of the Bianconeri this season. Italian football legend Marco Tardelli has observed the team’s struggles closely and believes the manager should continue to trust Vlahovic as the main striker, at least for now. Tardelli said:

 

“Tudor must focus on Vlahovic, he’s the best striker he has. He needs confidence and consistency. We’re missing a true champion in midfield, but Yildiz has everything it takes to become one.” ............

Spurs leading the race for departing Juventus star

 

 

Tottenham Hotspur haven’t only entered the fray for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, but they’re said to be the ones leading the race.

 

The North Londoners have developed a habit for poaching players from Serie A, dating back to Fabio Paratici’s original stint at the club, when they recruited the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski and Cristian Romero. ............

 

The club has four centre-forwards in Richarlison, Dominic Solanke, Mathys Tel and former Juventus man Randal Kolo Muani, but they have only scored four goals between them this season. ............

 

Spurs have in pole position to sign Vlahovic, who is seemingly on his way out of Juventus. ............

 

Nevertheless, the North Londoners aren’t the only Premier League club monitoring the 25-year-old, as his list of suitors also includes Chelsea and Manchester United.

 

Moreover, Bayern Munich have also been keeping close tabs on the former Fiorentina star, while Barcelona consider him a potential replacement for the ageing Robert Lewandowski, who is also out of contract at the end of the season. ............

Vlahovic leaves door open for Juventus contract renewal, takes responsibility for Tudor’s dismissal

 

 

 

Although he’s running on an expiring contract, Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic doesn’t completely rule out staying at the club beyond the current campaign. ............

 

As for Vlahovic, he could have bagged a few more had he been more decisive in front of goal, but his hard work and tenacious approach didn’t go unnoticed, as the Allianz Stadium gave him a standing ovation upon his exit.

 

“I always try to act like this, sometimes I succeed, other times I don’t,” admitted the 25-year-old in his post-match press conference.

 

“I try to help the team as much as possible, beyond scoring goals. I did that tonight. We have to continue on this path. I’m Juve’s number 9, everyone expects me to score, I’d like to score 100 goals a season… I try to improve and help the team .”

 

“I can only thank the fans. I’ve been here for years. There have been ups and downs, but that’s normal. Today, they gave me a huge boost. When the whole stadium applauds you, it’s a great feeling .” ............

 

“We’ve changed three coaches in a year and a half: we need to look in the mirror and see where we’re going wrong.

 

“I don’t think it’s right to blame one person every time; it’s everyone’s fault. Today we sent out a signal, but if we don’t do the same in the next few games, it won’t have served any purpose.

 

“I’d like to thank Mister Tudor for what he had done, for what Juventus represents to him .” ............

 

“I don’t know what can happen, I don’t even know how many months we have left. Never say never, but I’m focused on the present and talking about it now, given the situation we’re in, makes no sense.

 

“We must talk less and do more; we have to get back to doing better and winning games. I’m focused exclusively on that.”

Gianluca Di Marzio gives an update on Vlahovic Juventus relationship

 

 

 

Luciano Spalletti’s latest remarks regarding the future of Dusan Vlahovic indicate that the striker may be open to extending his stay at Juventus. The Serbian forward is approaching the end of his current contract and would become a free agent at the conclusion of the season if he does not sign a renewal. For some time, such an extension appeared improbable, with many believing the club had already resigned itself to his eventual departure.

 

Vlahovic has long been considered one of the most important players in the Juventus squad. ............

 

Juventus are currently striving to rediscover their best form, and retaining a player of Vlahovic’s calibre would be a major boost to those efforts. His performances this season have been outstanding, demonstrating the determination and clinical finishing that made him one of Europe’s most sought-after forwards. Spalletti’s recent comments have therefore provided encouragement to supporters who hope that both sides can reach an agreement before his contract expires.

 

The notion of extending his stay is not only a sporting decision but also a strategic one. Juventus understand that losing Vlahovic without compensation would represent a significant setback, given his current form and market value. For the player, remaining in Turin could offer stability and a platform to continue his development under a manager who appears to have renewed confidence in his abilities. ............

 

While optimism has begun to surface among supporters, Gianluca Di Marzio has offered a measured update on the situation. He explained: “It remains to be seen whether Vlahovic and his entourage will be open to discussions, though the management has yet to begin discussing a possible continuation. Or whether the deal will end, as is natural, at the end of the season, leaving Vlahovic free to make other decisions.” ............

Juventus willing to break salary cap to keep Chelsea & Spurs target

 

 

 

Juventus are reportedly determined to keep Dusan Vlahovic at the club after reclaiming his starting berth under Luciano Spalletti.

 

The Serbian supposedly had one foot out the door prior to the arrival of the 66-year-old manager. ............

 

The striker’s improved form has changed the club’s plans.

 

Juventus General Director Damien Comolli had apparently given up on reaching an agreement with the player’s agent Darko Ristic, resigning to losing the player on a free transfer at the end of the season.

 

Nevertheless, Vlahovic himself admitted that his future has yet to be written while Spalletti claimed that the centre-forward would like to stay in Turin. ............

 

As the source explains, Juventus have set a self-imposed salary cap, refusing to pay any player wages beyond €6 million per year.

 

And yet, the hierarchy could make an exception for Vlahovic, who is currently enjoying a net salary of €12 million thanks to the lucrative contract handed by the club’s former management (Andrea Agnelli, Maurizio Arrivabene and Federico Cherubini).

 

The Bianconeri are willing to offer the Serbian international a salary of €8 million per year. ............

Juventus striker could return early from international duty due to injury

 

 

 

Juventus centre-forward Dusan Vlahovic risks missing out on Serbia’s final two World Cup qualifiers due to a back issue.

 

The 25-year-old is one of 10 Bianconeri stars who left Turin to join their respective national teams for the last international break of the year.

 

However, the striker’s stay in the Serbian camp could be cut short if his physical struggles were to be confirmed.

 

Vlahovic complained of physical discomfort during last Tuesday’s Champions League contest against Sporting CP, which prompted his substitution in the second half. ............

 

After the match, Spalletti confirmed that the former Fiorentina player is suffering from back pain, but was determined to make himself available against Torino.

 

Vlahovic refused to back down from his national duty, choosing to answer Serbia’s call.

 

However, the national team’s doctors will assess his condition in the coming hours, before deciding whether he’s fit enough to play in the next two matches. If he’s deemed unable to participate, the striker will be sent back to Turin.

 

The Serbians will travel to London this week to take on England at Wembley on Thursday evening. ............

 

Serbia will then host Latvia in Belgrade on Sunday. They’re currently one point behind Albania in second place, as the two rivals continue to vie for the runner-up spot, which would send them to the play-offs. ............

Balzarini explains why Juventus are keen to keep Vlahovic, reveals salary offer

 

 

 

Italian journalist Gianni Balzarini insists that Juventus are now determined to extend the contract of Dusan Vlahovic.

 

The Serbian is currently the highest-paid player in Serie A, with a salary of €12 million per season. However, his contract will expire at the end of the season. ............

 

Since his arrival, the new Juventus boss has opted to start with Vlahovic on all three occasions, and the latter responded by scoring twice. He has thus consolidated his status as the club’s top goalscorer this season, with six goals across all competitions.

 

Therefore, several sources in the Italian media are now expecting the Bianconeri to resume their attempts to renew the player’s contract.

According to Balzarini, the club directors are ready to offer Vlahovic a new deal with a net salary of €7-8 million.

 

While this is a far cry from the striker’s current wages, the player must surely realise that these figures are no longer sustainable.

 

If Vlahovic were to accept the offer, he would remain the club’s top earner, ahead of his fellow striker Jonathan David, who’s on a €6 million salary. ............

 

After all, the Serbian’s departure would leave a gap in the department, which can only be plugged by spending a hefty transfer fee on a new striker, while the Serie A giants are looking to preserve the bulk of next summer’s budget to revamp the midfield.

 

So instead of having to spend on a new No.9, Juventus would save money by prolonging the 25-year-old’s stint at Continassa. ............

Vlahovic and Juventus agree to end-of-season talks amid contract uncertainty

 

 

 

Dusan Vlahovic’s future at Juventus remains unresolved, but there’s now clarity on the short term after the striker and the club reached what new CEO Damien Comolli described as a “pact” to continue together until the end of the season.

 

Both sides agreed to postpone contract talks until next summer, when Juventus will have a clearer idea of their Champions League qualification prospects. ............

 

The Serbian forward, who resisted pressure to leave during the summer, has repaid the club’s faith with six Serie A goals, emerging as a reliable source of output for the Bianconeri attack.

 

However, negotiations for a new deal remain complicated. ............

 

Vlahovic is currently the highest paid player in Serie A and it is not sustainable for the Bianconeri to continue paying him what he earns now.

For now, Vlahovic’s performances will decide his long-term future. ............

Chiellini & Vlahovic reach important pact amidst Bayern Munich interest

 

 

 

Juventus director Giorgio Chiellini has been in constant contact with his former teammate Dusan Vlahovic, whose future remains up in the air.

 

The Serbian’s contract with the Bianconeri will expire at the end of the season, and the two parties’ struggle to reach an agreement on a renewal has been well-documented at this point. ............

 

But while his future remains to be written, Chiellini has been in talks with Vlahovic on behalf of Juventus, and the two men have at least agreed to maintain their collaboration until the end of the season. In other words, neither party would consider a move in January.

 

This would buy the club and the player additional time before potentially resuming their contract talks at a later stage of the season. ............

 

As the source explains, the picture remains too bleak to deduce any conclusions at this stage, and neither side wants to make a hasty commitment. After all, Juventus remain unsure whether they’ll be able to count on Champions League money for next season.

 

Moreover, Vlahovic has been rather inconsistent in previous campaigns, so it remains to be seen if he can truly raise his game and deliver the goods week in, week out.

 

In any case, the Bianconeri cannot afford to confirm the Serbian’s current salary of €12 million per season, but might be willing to offer him €8 million per season. ............

Juventus striker risks missing Fiorentina clash with muscle fatigue

 

 

 

Juventus will be sweating over the condition of Dusan Vlahovic, whose availability against Fiorentina is now in doubt.

 

The 25-year-old regained his starting berth with the arrival of Luciano Spalletti. The new manager fielded him as a starter in his first three contests in charge of the Bianconeri. ............

 

On Thursday, Vlahovic spearheaded the charge for Serbia in their World Cup qualifier against England, playing from start to finish. ............

 

Vlahovic felt some discomfort after the contest, which required some medical checkups afterwards.

 

Luckily, the results ruled out any injuries, but the Juventus star is apparently suffering from adductor muscle fatigue.

 

The striker will likely remain on the bench during Serbia’s insignificant final qualifier against Latvia on Sunday. The source doesn’t rule out an early return to Turin.

 

Vlahovic won’t be out for too long, but muscle fatigue usually requires a brief rest period between five and six days.

 

Hence, it remains to be seen if Spalletti will be able to count on his services for Saturday’s away showdown against Fiorentina.

 

This is obviously a special occasion for the Serbian, who made a name for himself in the Italian peninsula during his days in Florence. Therefore, he’s always treated to an unsavoury welcome when returning to the Artemio Franchi. ............

Another boost for Juventus as tests rule out Vlahovic injury

 

 

 

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic returned to Turin with a knock, but luckily for him and the club, he hasn’t sustained an injury.

 

The 25-year-old joined the Serbian national team for the final two World Cup qualifiers. On Thursday, he spearheaded the charge against England at Wembley in what was a losing effort for the Eagles. ............

 

Due to his condition, Vlahovic didn’t take part in Serbia’s contest against Latvia on Sunday. Instead, the centre-forward reported to the J|Medical Centre on Monday to undergo the necessary medical examinations.

 

While the club didn’t release an official note, several sources in the Italian media have reported that the tests have ruled out any injuries.

 

This is certainly a delightful piece of news for Luciano Spalletti, who has been relying on the Serbian as his main striker since his arrival at the club as a replacement for Igor Tudor. In fact, Vlahovic started in all three Juventus contests under the new manager’s watch. ............

 

It is very likely that he could skip the meeting against his former employers, and focus on recovering for the Champions League clash against Bodo/Glimt on Norwegian soil.

 

The source adds that the final decision on the striker’s availability will be made based on how he fares in the training sessions over the next few days. ............
