Juventus are reportedly on the lookout for a possible replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, who is attracting strong interest from Chelsea, according to Tuttosport.
The hottest name on the list is Georges Mikautadze, the star striker of Metz and Georgia. He is a versatile player who can play across the entire offensive front, although his lack of experience in higher-level leagues than Ligue 2 could initially be a disadvantage.
The 22-year-old Georgian has been in impressive form for Metz, scoring 23 goals and providing eight assists in 37 appearances last season in French Ligue 2.
Juventus are said to be impressed with Mikautadze’s technical skills, physicality, and ability to play in different positions. However, they may face competition from other clubs who are also interested in the young striker.
Dusan Vlahovic could leave Juventus this summer with many clubs interested in him including Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
The reason why Dusan Vlahovic wants to leave Juventus is due to financial problems, the unstable relationship with Max Allegri, and the fact that the club will not play in the Champions League.
