Juve, Vlahovic stays or is going away? Tudor would like to keep him. Point of the situation and engagement

The door is ajar. It seemed tight, double -sent, and instead it is early to consider the adventure of Dusan Vlahovic to Juventus finished. The road is uphill and a test of elasticity is needed on the part of both sides, but the United States of America can be the necessary glue because the partnership continues, between the center forward and the club for which it has been playing for three and a half years now. After all, what will care in the shade of the stars and stripes flags is that the Serbian striker remember how much he needs the Juventus shirt and at the same time that the lady itself does not forget how the former Florentine can be precious in Turin. And in this scenario there are two figures who have fundamental roles, one from intermediary and one of decision -making. In an intricate situation that involves economic, emotional and career aspects, the ball passes mainly from the foot of the coach Igor Tudor (who today will sign the renewal until 2027) and those of the general manager Damien Comolli, as well as by the left -handed of the bomber.

Thiago Motta’s successor, in fact, has never hidden his profound esteem for Vlahovic and did not surprise anyone who with him the Serbian ended immediately to the detriment of Randal Kolo Muani. For the first month of “Tudor Management”, the number 9 had its place on the pitch by making three assists in the first three games, but at the end of April an overload to the femoral rectum of the right thigh blocked it: unavailable for two matches and taken over for three more. The substance does not change: the feeling between Tudor and Vlahovic is good and the former defender would not mind continuing to work with the striker, in turn very fond of the colors with which he made the level leap. If there were no contractual grain, in short, for the technician there would be no need to put his hand to the wallet for a substitute. And Igor has clear ideas for the tournament: «Juve always plays to win – he told Fifa -, we will do the best by fighting in every race. Here I feel in the right place ».

The internal solution

–

In addition, now Vlahovic and his entourage have a new interlocutor in society, the DG Comolli instead of the former Technical Director Cristiano Giuntoli. On the day of his presentation, the French manager expressed himself on the center forward: «He is a top player, I spoke to him last week. We will understand the situation and make a decision ». The knot, however, remains what had complicated the relationships in the past. From 1 July the last year of the contract will begin for Dusan, at 12 million euros net: too many, as too many 10.5 would be received this year. To get an idea, he earns at least double any partner. The only solution not to say goodbye in the summer is – and was – an extension with reduced or spread engagement, such as to become sustainable for the new corporate ecosystem. But what has changed, therefore, compared to before? That Tudor’s estimate for the center forward is allowing the situation to stay on stand-by, also by making the bank on the objective critical issues of the other tables: a worthy substitute is not found for less than 40-50 million euros and the only club today concretely interested in number 9 is Fenerbahçe, with Turkey which, however, does not seem to warm Dusan.

The mission

–

The result of this scenario is that now Vlahovic has new stimuli to approach the club world championship: he can show Tudor and the company how attacked the shirt, dedicated to the cause and able to determine the team results. Finding the smile in black and white would facilitate everything, even if the decisive step towards the management would still remain to lower the claims. If they remain the same, shining in the USA would heat the contenders market, not really hot after 15 seasonal goals in 41 games. The contact between DG Comolli and Dusan’s entourage has not yet been been, but there will be in the coming weeks of the US. The ideal would be a first step with a flavor of opening because, now, that door is at least ajar.
