It was a day like no other, and one that sent a clear message. Dusan Vlahovic received a visit from his agent, Darko Ristic, in the last few hours, and the news spread like wildfire through social media. It was as if to say, “Look who’s here.” As if to add, “Perhaps there will be news.” But no, there was nothing new. Nor are they expected anytime soon, because DV9 still has a margin of time to figure out what can be done with its future. Because Juventus also needs to understand what the next move could be.
The lunch meeting was a working session, between Vlahovic and his agent, held in the heart of Turin, but far from prying eyes and ears that could listen. At the moment, the Serbian striker is focused on continuing the season with the Bianconeri and the objective is to defeat the competition in Italy and establish himself in Europe as well. The feeling with Motta is solid, and unlike others, Dusan has never been in question. To date, DV9 is waiting for signals from Juventus, with whom he will sit at the negotiating table – at least for a first approach – by the end of 2024.
As for Milik, time is running out. The Polish striker is undergoing rehabilitation away from Turin, but in about 40 days, the two months set for his return to the field will expire. Will he return? Perhaps. There is no answer, there are no certainties. There is Milik’s desire to take to the pitch, but it’s not certain that he will be able to do it with the Juventus shirt. In fact, the club is waiting to understand its conditions to move and evaluate further alternatives. If he were to recover well, he could return to the hierarchy; if he were to feel well and submit an offer, he could then leave and help the club find a replacement, one that can challenge Vlahovic. Such as a young, hungry player who can put a spot of pressure on his position. Even in the hierarchy.
