Dusan Vlahovic carried Juventus on his shoulders in the Salernitana game in his third appearance since returning from his latest bout with sports hernia. He hadn’t scored in over 100 days with the Bianconeri, while he had hit the net once in the World Cup.
The marksman took and converted a PK to break the deadlock after getting the green light from Angel Di Maria. PerTuttoSport, he confirmed to be one of the deadliest specialists. He has bagged 93 percent of his attempts, 14 out of 15. It’s the best percentage of any Serie A player with similar volume. His lone miss came on January 2022, in one of his final games with Fiorentina, when Genoa’s Salvatore Sirigu denied him from the spot. He netted a gorgeous lob afterward, and the Viola cruised to a six-nil victory.
According to Calciomercato, the precarious physical conditions of Vlahovic slowed down any potential interest in January. However, his agent Darko Ristic has been busy collecting inquiries. His future is a major question mark considering the team’s legal troubles. It’s highly unlikely they’ll play in Champions League next season. The striker might ultimately be too expensive to keep.
Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea touched base during the winter. Barcelona, PSG, and Bayern Munich are waiting in the wings ahead of the summer. What will happen to Juventus outside the pitch will be pivotal in the matter.
Our Take on Vlahovic
He and the Bianconeri surely needed that breakthrough performance. They’ll be hoping he stays healthy from now on. If the club is forced into a fire sale without the cups, he’ll undoubtedly be the crown jewel.
