Juventus is honing in on a rising talent, and his name is Vasilije Adzic. Born in 2006, Adzic has swiftly become a linchpin for Buducnost Podgorica at the tender age of 17, showcasing versatility as an attacking midfielder and a quality central presence.
Giuntoli’s attention has been captivated by this prodigy for over two years, with initial interest arising during his stint at Napoli and now intensifying under the watchful eyes of Juventus scouts.
Known affectionately as “Adzo” among his teammates, Adzic has earned accolades from Buducnost Podgorica’s sporting director, Andrija Delibasic, who hails him as ‘the most beautiful thing to happen to Montenegrin football in the last 15 years, alongside Jovetic.’
The Guardian, too, recognizes Adzic among the elite, listing him among the world’s top 60 young talents. The anticipation surrounding his potential call-up to the senior national team in 2024 is building, especially with his current involvement in the U21 squad.
Drawing comparisons to an early Kevin De Bruyne, Adzic’s football journey is guided by an idolization of Lionel Messi. In an interview, he expressed profound gratitude, stating, “Thanks to him, I started playing football, studying every movement of his.”
Despite tempting calls from France, Germany, and Italy, none have been willing to meet Buducnost’s €8 million valuation.
Yet, Juventus, a club renowned for its strategic acquisitions and foresight, remains on the brink of a potential pursuit, as reported by calciomercato.com, closely monitoring the trajectory of this exceptional young talent.
