“Full of Dishonesty and Liars”: Fiorentina President Blasts Dusan Vlahovic After His Move to League Rivals Juventus

Juventus is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and barring the last two seasons, they had complete control over Serie A and other domestic competitions. They plan to get back there now, and signing Dusan Vlahovic and Denis Zakaria would go a long way in doing that.

Especially the signing of Vlahovic, who had been on fire in Serie A with Fiorentina. Juventus signed him for a mind-blowing fee of 66 million euros. For that amount of money, Juventus are getting a striker who has already scored 20 goals in all competitions this season.

Fiorentina President talks about the Vlahovic deal

Football journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Fiorentina’s president, Rocco B. Commisso, isn’t happy with his former star. Commisso accused Vlahovic of being dishonest with the club and revealed that he wanted to emulate another young, top-level striker.

“Vlahović deal was full of dishonesty and liars. We opened talks with English clubs – every time a new offer came up, Vlahović and his agents said no. Their plan was the same as Mbappé with PSG: leave as a free agent and make money,” the club president said.

Dusan Vlahovic speaks about his move to Juventus

While the Fiorentina president wasn’t too happy with the transfer, Vlahovic is ecstatic about it. He gave his first interview for the club and revealed that joining Juventus was an easy choice for him. He revealed that the club has a winning mentality, and he wants to win with it.

“There were a lot of rumours about clubs from abroad, but it was an easy choice for me [to sign for Juventus]. This club has a winning mentality, like me. I’m extremely happy – I’m joining a glorious club and this is what I wanted. I can’t wait,” Vlahovic said.

It’ll be interesting to see how this move works out for them both in the long run, but it does look like a great deal. Vlahovic is a fantastic signing for the club, and they can get back to the top again with a striker of his caliber.
