The attacker would like to work again with Spalletti, who wants two number 9s in his squad: Milik is leaving, there aren’t many solutions on the market and a solution would be needed
Does Comolli’s exit bring Vlahovic closer to Juventus? Yes. And there are at least five reasons that push the attacker to think about staying in the black and white shirt, despite having the freedom to evaluate other offers. The Serbian has always given priority to Juventus and has not held back even when faced with the need to contain the financial demand, but in the key phase of the confrontation between his father and the now former CEO of the club the parties revealed distances that were difficult to reduce. Now everything changes.
WHERE DID THE DIALOGUE STOP?
—
Comolli offered Vlahovic a salary that was significantly lower than what he received in the last year of the contract, also increased by the loyalty bonus of 4 million which was added to the basic 8. The Serbian’s request remained faithful to the salary of recent years, the club instead proposed a substantial reduction to place him under the number 10, Yildiz, who recently renewed for 6 million per season. Spalletti would like the attacker’s confirmation because he considers him ideal for his playing style. Juve’s case was broken because, having interrupted the comparison with Vlahovic, for whom no investment is needed to acquire the card, Juventus found themselves on an uphill road to get their hands on other similar profiles.
WHAT DOES DUSAN ASK?
—
Vlahovic was struck by Spalletti and understands that working with him could improve him enough. The Serbian’s last years have been troubled, just like for Juve: the number 9 would like to be part of the new relaunch, but he wouldn’t want to earn less than in recent seasons. In short, Dusan would be happy to play again at Juve for 8 million a year, also opening up the possibility of making a short extension of one or two years. In such a strategic role, for Spalletti it would be important to start from a certainty.
WHERE DOES JUVE ARRIVE?
—
The change of guard at the Juventus management may give new life to the negotiations, but it is clear that Carnevali cannot deviate too much from the lines drawn by Comolli. Of course, the approach to the table can make the difference and making the player feel important for the project can be the key to immediately softening his position. The Serbian wants to be a leader of the team, therefore he expects attentive treatment towards him. The gap between the proposed 5 million and the requested 8 million could be significantly reduced with the inclusion of a variable part linked to the achievement of individual and team objectives. The evolution of the discussion, however, will depend on the sensitivity of the new CEO.
HOW DO YOU PLAN TO HAVE SPALLETTI PLAY?
—
Spalletti’s request for a physical center forward has been known since the January transfer window, when he was in serious difficulty due to the Serbian number 9’s injury. Milik (outgoing) does not offer any guarantees and for this reason the coach has asked for two players in that role: Vlahovic’s stay would give the possibility of looking for a single addition, without him instead we need to find two players who give certainty about coverage during the season. Vlahovic’s availability comes from the awareness that he can do really well on the directives of Spalletti, who is used to praising a player with his characteristics so much.
WHAT DOES THE MARKET OFFER?
—
Carnevali supported the growth of a structured center forward like Scamacca, signed very young for 4 million and resold for 38 and a half million at the end of a growth path of a few years. Now the national team striker is with Atalanta, who have already raised the barrier to his transfer to Roma. Ottolini, with Comolli’s approval, opened the dialogue for Sorloth: the player is appreciated, but Atletico Madrid is not willing to go below the 35 million request. Gabriel Jesus (may leave Arsenal for a front-line role) and Jackson, who Chelsea will have to relocate after his loan period at Bayern Munich, are also being explored. In all cases, however, a solution should be found.
