Dusan Vlahovic celebrated his 22nd birthday by signing with Juventus on Friday, as the Serie A giant splashed out big money to secure his service from Fiorentina to bolster its scoring ability.
Juve and Vlahovic have signed a contract until 30 June 2026. According to the Old Lady, the transfer fee can be up to 80 million euros, including 70 million fixed fees and 10 million performance-related bonuses. The player will earn 7 million euros per season.
Born in Belgrade on January 28, 2000, Vlahovic became the youngest ever player to appear for his local club Partizan Belgrade. He left Serbia for Italy in the summer of 2018, when he agreed to join Fiorentina.
In the 2019-20 Serie A season, Vlahovic was promoted to the first team and amassed eight goals in all competitions. In the following season, the Serbian upped his game to score 21 goals in the league. And throughout the calendar year of 2021, the starlet churned out 33 league goals, which ranks second in the top-five league, only after Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich.
Juve is struggling to find the back of the net since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, only scoring Serie A 34 goals in the current season. The arrival of Vlahovic is expected to be a reinforcement on the forward-line.
