According to La Stampa, this round of the league is likely to be a farewell match for DV9 at Juventus' home court, but will still serve as a substitute.
Vlahovic will leave this summer. Due to failure to renew the contract with Juventus, the Serbian striker will be sold before the contract expires to avoid the risk of a free transfer in the future. Therefore, tonight's game against Udinese is not only a key battle for Champions League qualification, but also likely to be the last farewell game for Vlahovic to face Juventus' home fans.
From Juventus spending up to 90 million euros to introduce Vlahovic from Fiorentina, to now being under pressure of a high salary of more than 20 million euros before tax, Vlahovic's performance this season is more of a low point than a highlight, lacks stability, and is troubled by injuries due to his fragility. Under Allegri's leadership, Vlahovic was once the team's tactical core and was marginalized as a substitute after a brief recovery in the Mota era.
Under Tudor, a muscle overload injury caused Vlahovic's appearance pick to drop again. The goal drought has continued to this day, and the last goal was the 1-0 Cagliari away game on February 23. Vlahovic's relationship with fans is also becoming increasingly alienated, from his former darling to a forgotten character, gradually losing support and love.
La Stampa said that it is almost impossible for Juventus and Vlahovic to reach an agreement on a contract extension. And tonight against Udinese, he will also sit on the bench.
