Dusan Vlahovic swept aside the constant transfer speculation with another crucial goal for Juventus, proving his value in Serie A. The Serbian striker once again showed why the Bianconeri cannot afford to let him go. Despite ongoing rumors about his exit, Vlahovic continues to deliver on the pitch, keeping Juventus in the race for early season dominance.
Juventus Struggling to Sell Their Star Striker
Juventus have reportedly been open to selling Dusan Vlahovic to any buyer with enough cash. The forward earns €12 million a year, making him the league’s highest-paid player. Yet, in moments like Sunday’s clash against Genoa, his importance becomes undeniable.
Decisive Goal Against Genoa
Coming off the bench in the 73rd minute, Vlahovic rose above his marker and headed in a corner from compatriot Filip Kostic. It was his second consecutive match where he scored after being introduced as a substitute. Juventus claimed a 1-0 win and maintained their perfect start with six points from two games.
Juventus Fighting to Keep Momentum
“Juventus has been trying to offload Vlahovic and his 12 million euros ($14 million) salary — the highest in the league — before his contract expires after this season,” reports confirmed. So far, no move has materialized as the striker seems determined to stay until the transfer window shuts.
Goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio Shines
Goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio played a key role late in the game, producing two stoppage-time saves. He denied Caleb Ekuban with a brilliant stop and later punched away Patrizio Masini’s header that had clipped the crossbar. These heroics ensured Juventus’ narrow victory stood firm.
Juventus Among Early Leaders in Serie A
The win places Juventus alongside Napoli, Cremonese, and Roma with six points after two rounds. The strong start highlights how vital Vlahovic remains, even if the club has entertained transfer talks.
Inter Milan’s Disappointment Against Udinese
Elsewhere in Serie A, Inter Milan stumbled after a big opening win. They lost 2-1 at home to Udinese, despite Denzel Dumfries’ early strike. Keinan Davis equalized from the penalty spot before Arthur Atta gave Udinese the lead. Inter had a Federico Dimarco goal ruled out for offside, underlining their frustration under new coach Cristian Chivu.
Lazio Dominate, Torino and Fiorentina Share Points
Youngster Francesco Pio Esposito made his Serie A debut for Inter but failed to make an impact. Meanwhile, Lazio crushed Hellas Verona 4-0 with goals from Matteo Guendouzi, Mattia Zaccagni, Valentin Castellanos, and Boulaye Dia. Torino and Fiorentina played out a goalless draw.
Vlahovic’s Future Remains Uncertain
For Juventus, the focus remains on balancing finances and competitiveness. But as long as Vlahovic keeps scoring, it becomes increasingly clear that speculation over his departure cannot overshadow his importance. Once again, Dusan Vlahovic swept aside transfer rumors and delivered when it mattered most.
