Fabio Capello believes Dusan Vlahovic can help AC Milan win the Serie A title if the team can secure his signing this summer.
Fabio Capello, former AC Milan head coach, thinks Massimiliano Allegri has assembled a strong squad capable of challenging for the Serie A title.
However, Capello emphasizes the need for a 20-goal-per-season striker to complete the team. Dusan Vlahovic, currently with Juventus, is seen as the perfect fit for this role.
Capello’s confidence in Milan’s title chances stems from the team’s potential to develop its play and convert chances into goals with the right striker. Vlahovic’s experience and goal-scoring ability make him an attractive signing for Milan.
According to Capello, Vlahovic “already did it for Fiorentina, and even in the last year with Max at Juventus, he wasn’t far off.”
The 78-year-old coach believes Vlahovic would thrive in Milan, particularly with Allegri at the helm. Allegri knows Vlahovic well, having coached him at Juventus, and would likely utilize him effectively in the box. Capello notes that Vlahovic “has goals in him if he regains confidence and chances.”
Milan’s summer transfer window has been busy, with signings like Luka Modric, Samuele Ricci, and Ardon Jashari.
However, the team still needs a reliable goalscorer to compete with Santiago Gimenez. Capello acknowledges that Gimenez has shown promise but has not met expectations since joining Milan in January for €35 million.
Capello praises Jashari’s signing, saying the Switzerland international “seems great” and has “potentially a top player in the future in that role.” The investment in Jashari is significant for a Serie A team, but Capello expects him to bring a different dynamic to the Rossoneri midfield.
With no European competition to contend with, Milan can focus on the Serie A and Coppa Italia. Capello is optimistic about the team’s chances, stating, “I always say it’s easier to celebrate in May if you have a 20-goal striker compared to when you don’t.”
If Milan secures Vlahovic’s signing, Capello believes the team will have a strong chance of winning the title. Vlahovic’s desire to redeem himself and the potentially lower pressure at Milan could lead to a successful partnership with Allegri.
Ultimately, Milan’s title aspirations depend on various factors, including the team’s cohesion and performance on the pitch. With the right signings and a bit of luck, Capello thinks Milan can make a strong push for the Scudetto.
