Dusan Vlahovic's adventure at Juventus has now reached the closing credits.
If even Igor Tudor, a great admirer of the Serbian, hasn’t managed to recover him during these months on the bench, it really means that his time with the Bianconeri is over—not that it ever truly began in the end—given that in these three and a half years, the Serbian has failed, encountering difficulties that didn’t allow him to showcase the qualities he had instead demonstrated in Florence.
Could Dusan Vlahovic rediscover himself at AC Milan under coach Allegri?
In light of the upcoming separation from Juventus, the name of Dusan Vlahovic has been linked to Milan among the many teams mentioned in recent weeks. For the moment, this is nothing more than a suggestion, also because the clubs supposedly have no meetings planned to discuss the striker. But in the coming days, something could start to move, also because it is Massimiliano Allegri’s intention to pair another center-forward with Santiago Gimenez in his new Milan.
As a result, Dusan Vlahovic could be not only a solution but also an opportunity for the Rossoneri: the cost of his transfer fee is affordable (20–25 million euros), less so the very high salary he currently earns, which should be around 12 million euros per season. For this reason, it is hard to imagine the Serbian wearing the Rossoneri shirt unless he agrees to halve his wages. At the same time, though, it's better not to take anything for granted, for two simple reasons: the allure of the Rossoneri jersey and Massimiliano Allegri, as pointed out by Milannews.it.
Allegri in the background
Dusan Vlahovic at Milan could be an idea of Massimiliano Allegri. The Serbian is in fact a long-time favorite of the Rossoneri coach, even though his performances under the Tuscan manager were not particularly impressive. Yet the numbers aren’t that bad: in 99 matches with Massimiliano Allegri on the bench, Vlahovic has contributed to 51 goals—namely, 41 goals and 10 assists.
The excellent relationship between the two could play a key role in any potential negotiations, as could the importance the Serbian would have in the new Rossoneri project. However, considering Santiago Gimenez is already in the squad, it’s natural to wonder: would it really make that much sense to bring Vlahovic to Milan? Yes—especially if Allegri were to dust off that 4-3-1-2 formation with which he won his first career title as a coach, namely the Scudetto with Milan in 2011.
