Dusan Vlahovic | Signed for Juventus

[nmc]

It’s supposedly €30M + a player, if to be believed. A ridiculous offer

The old guard still believe they have a god given right to hoover up the best talent in their respective leagues - even when they can’t afford it. See Barca or Juventus.

I’m not denying that it’s a strong possibility, I’m just warning that people are taking some very questionable rumors (given the sources and their history) to allow a bunch of cliches to come alive. So with Vlahovic, “of course he wants Juventus, players from that part of the world yadda yadda, another player that won’t leave Italy, Juve fan since a kid etc”.
With Haaland, “of course Madrid/Barcelona, big clubs!, big money!, weather! yadda yadda”. And the evidence is minimal and questionable, to say the least. Not to add the overall pessimism here that any player couldn’t possibly prefer us over those clubs. And I should also say that media in the UK too are quick to play into those cliches, thus fueling the climate to overreactions here and in other social media

To be honest I can't see any footballer making a decision of sentiment anymore. They have a short career and trophies and money is what really matters. Haaland is a Leeds then city fan so I think we are in a great position to get him but at the same time i can also see psg or real blowing us out of the water in terms of wages. Vlahovic could easily pick juve over us or arsenal but I doubt its because he loves juve its the trophies and money. Look at Ronaldo he "loves" utd but yet he seemed desperate to join us in the summer and it took a boat load of cash and a guilt trip from his "dad" to get him back to the swamp.

Ok fair enough.

If indeed he has his heart set on Juventus for whatever reason, not much that can be done about that.


A few more Italian based clains that Juventus are pushing it in January now rather than waiting for June as they had planned. Most claiming all is agreed with club and player, just the clubs to agree payment now. Supposedly.

I cant see him choosing juve over us especially with us being a lot stronger than them, having pep and being in a much bigger and better league. Juve aren't madrid i don't see them as being a bigger draw than us right now unless he really likes living in italy. My guess is we aren't really in for him it seems spurs and arsenal want him more than we do hes probably our third choice.

Juventus have me an offer but apparantly as of earlier today he is holding out to come to us.
It will be interesting how this pans out.

He'll have a long fucking wait then, if we were interested in him we'd be knocking on their door by now

There were articles in Italian media saying Pep was signing for Juve a couple of years ago.
