According to BD Cricket Live, Juventus continues to struggle with one persistent issue—attacking output. Despite parting ways with Max Allegri and his signature 1-0 philosophy, the Bianconeri’s offensive woes persist. New manager Thiago Motta brings a more progressive vision to the team, but the question remains whether the current squad, especially key players, can execute it effectively.

At the heart of the conversation is Dusan Vlahovic. As the team’s most expensive player and centerpiece of the forward line, Vlahovic carries heavy expectations. However, his performances have consistently fallen short of elite standards, leading to constant questions about his long-term role. Though recent matches have shown a slight uptick—particularly his crucial Champions League goal—his overall contribution over the past few seasons hasn’t matched his price tag.

BD Cricket Live reports that Vlahovic is highly sensitive about his salary. While his form has fluctuated, he remains firm on financial terms, refusing to make any compromises. Juventus, acknowledging his age (only 24) and potential, is still interested in renewing his contract. But given the club’s financial realities and inconsistent results, they proposed a significant pay cut—from €12 million net (about €22 million gross) to a restructured €8 million with performance bonuses.

Vlahovic swiftly rejected the offer, pulling out of extension talks entirely. His stance underscores the enormous gulf in valuation between player and club. This standoff has sparked speculation across the football world—will Vlahovic seek a move away from Turin?

BD Cricket Live insiders confirm that Arsenal remains one of the most interested suitors. Mikel Arteta is reportedly keen on adding a reliable striker to fit his tactical blueprint. Yet whether Vlahovic can fulfill that role is still a matter of debate. While Arsenal can likely offer a more competitive salary than Juventus, it’s unclear if Vlahovic’s current level truly aligns with Premier League title ambitions.

As negotiations stall, Juventus faces a pivotal decision—hold firm on their financial principles or risk losing a forward they once viewed as their future. Either way, the saga marks another chapter in the club’s broader rebuild.
