Dusan Vlahovic certainly hasn’t met any expectations. He was signed by Juventus during the 2021/22 season. With high potential, the fanbase was hopeful that he would lead the attacking line after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. However, things have not gone as per the ideal plan. Unfortunately, the Serbian icon cannot break through the rut of clocking in subpar and lackluster performances. On this note, a well-known journalist revealed the Italian side now plans to sell Vlahovic in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Florentina’s former striker recently marked 50 days without scoring a brace since against Lazio in September. Vlahovic has struggled to emulate the goal-scoring excellence he displayed at his former club, sparking concerns about his effectiveness. As a result, The Italian giant issued an ultimatum to the forward in order to enhance his gameplay in the upcoming fixtures.

After the departure of CR7, the Serbian star joined Juventus with a $74 million deal, bolstering their offensive prowess. The Italian giant’s strategy appeared to be in jeopardy following his underwhelming performances in consecutive years. Vlahovic played nine games and managed to score just four goals for the Old Lady this season. Consequently, Juventus will seek to offload the Serbian sensation if he fails to boost his contributions before the winter transfer window.
On this same topic, Marcello Chirico, the Italian journalist, said in an interview, “Vlahovic was supposed to be Cristiano Ronaldo’s replacement. These were the expectations of Juventus, which expects much more from him. He hasn’t found the net for almost 50 days and since he has to return to scoring continuously, if he doesn’t Juventus will put him on the market as early as January for a reason.”
Meanwhile, Dusan Vlahovic appeared to have different aspirations for his career following his struggle to establish himself at Juventus. The 23-year-old starlet expressed an idea about a potential move to the Saudi Pro League alongside Aleksandar Mitrovic. That thought surely raised eyebrows among soccer enthusiasts.
What’s next for the Serbian star in his career?
The Juventus striker was captivated by the ambitious prospect of joining the SPL in this early stage of his career. Many European players, including his compatriot Mitrovic, stepped into a new chapter in the Middle East. The Fulham poacher joined Al Hilal on a staggering deal after a roller-coaster season in the Premier League.

Vlahovic held a discussion with his Serbian teammate to further hone his interest in a Saudi move. The ex-Fulham man remarked, “Vlahovic asked me about the Saudi League and wanted to know how I felt playing in Saudi Arabia. I told him that he should join the Saudi League and suggested the idea to him.” From the looks of it, the Florentia icon has a challenging choice to make in the upcoming months to rekindle his renowned goal-scoring ability and advance his career.
