Dusan Vlahovic concluded the year 2023 on an upward trajectory, leaving a lasting impact with a goal against Frosinone and a pivotal assist for Rabiot against Roma.
The inception of the new year has brought even greater accomplishments for the Juventus striker. Following a decisive goal in Salerno and a remarkable double against Sassuolo, Vlahovic continues to showcase his prowess on the field, maintaining an impressive goal-scoring frequency, averaging one every 127 minutes.
This consistency echoes the explosive form he displayed during his time at Fiorentina, solidifying his decision to remain with Juventus and dispelling any lingering doubts.
Recent insights from the Gazzetta dello Sport shed light on Vlahovic’s unwavering commitment to the Bianconero cause. Despite the allure of the Premier League, the Serbian striker, bound by his current contract until 2026, made it clear that a move was never on the cards this summer.
In fact, discussions are underway for a contract extension. While there is no sense of urgency in finalizing the deal, Vlahovic, through his agent Darko Ristic, has expressed a willingness to extend by an additional year.
This strategic move not only demonstrates the player’s dedication but also allows the club to strategically manage bonuses and amortization. The evident harmony between player and club sets the stage for a formal contract signing in the foreseeable future.
Turning attention to Vlahovic’s performance on the pitch, his recent league double brings his tally to an impressive 9 goals, all of which have been netted in Serie A.
While he awaits his debut goal in the Coppa Italia, he has already surpassed notable names such as Thuram, Lukaku, and Osimhen in the goal-scoring charts, with Lautaro Martinez trailing at 18 goals.
Despite a setback in the form of a missed penalty against Empoli, Vlahovic maintains a remarkable goal-scoring rate of one goal every 127 minutes, having accumulated a total of 1192 minutes on the field throughout the season.
This season continues to shape up as a testament to Vlahovic’s prowess and dedication to Juventus.
