Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic has completed his transfer to Juventus from Serie A rivals Fiorentina on a four-year deal worth up to 90 million euros ($100 million), the Turin club confirmed on Friday, a “lethal finisher”. Confirmed arrival. Vlahovik. , who turns 22 on Friday, has been reveling in the first half of the season in Italy and is the league’s joint top scorer with Ciro Immobile on 17 goals. Juventus announced the signing of Vlahovic in a deal worth €70 million, in addition to a cost of €11.6 million and a maximum bonus of up to €10 million. The contract runs until June 30, 2026.
The record 36-time Italian champion’s attack has been undermined by Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Manchester United and a season-ending injury to Federico Chiesa.
Juve are fifth in the table and have scored only 34 goals in 23 Serie matches, the 11th best in the division.
“Twenty goals in 24 matches between Serie A and Coppa Italia in the first half of the 2021/2022 season,” Juventus wrote on their website.
“Those numbers increase to 41 in total with the 2020/2021 season making 64 appearances.
“Any player boasting of such stats can be summed up in two words: the lethal finisher – or, if you prefer, Dusan Vlahovic, now officially at Juventus – what better way to celebrate his 22nd birthday. What could be the way?”
The youngster, who is often compared to AC Milan star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, arrived at Juventus for a medical earlier on Friday, taking off Ronaldo’s number seven jersey.
Juventus continued, “It would be insufficient to describe Dusan merely as a force of nature.”
“In addition to his physical prowess, he displays excellent technique, strength, class, and most importantly, a clinical coolness in the face of the target.”
At 16, Vlahovic became the youngest player to play for his local club, Partizan Belgrade, joining Fiorentina in the summer of 2018 and thriving in the Italian system.
“In less time than expected, they understood the demands of football in Italy and adapted their individual playing style to the rigors of Calcio,” Juventus said.
“Season 2020/21 was the year that Dusan definitely exploded onto the scene.
“No other striker has scored his 38 goals combined in the last two seasons, one more than Ciro Immobile and at least ten more than any other striker still playing in our league.”
Juventus are 11 points behind Serie A leaders Inter Milan but just one point from a Champions League berth, although they have played a game more than fourth-placed Atalanta.
Champions Inter ended Juventus’ nine-year Serie A rule last season.
