Former Italy and Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli hails Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic as one of the best strikers in Europe.
Cesare Prandelli, the former Italy and Fiorentina head coach, has spoken highly of Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic, describing him as “one of the best strikers in Europe.”
Prandelli’s praise comes despite speculation surrounding Vlahovic’s future at Juventus, with several top clubs reportedly interested in signing him.
Prandelli, who has extensive experience in Italian football, believes Vlahovic is a “champion” and a top-class striker. However, he also expressed a desire to see Vlahovic score even more goals, highlighting the importance of his role as a finisher.
According to Prandelli, Vlahovic’s strengths lie in his ability to score goals, and he should focus on doing what he does best.
The situation surrounding Vlahovic’s future at Juventus has drawn comparisons to that of former Fiorentina striker Adrian Mutu. However, Prandelli believes the two cases are different, with Mutu remaining at Fiorentina during his time as coach. Prandelli noted that Vlahovic has an ongoing contract and an undefined situation, but neither he nor Juventus seems to be in a rush to make a decision.
Vlahovic has been linked with a move away from Juventus in the past, with clubs like Milan, Inter, and Manchester United reportedly interested in signing him. Despite the speculation, Vlahovic has remained at Juventus and has scored four goals in five appearances this season.
Prandelli’s comments suggest that Vlahovic’s role at Juventus is clear, and he should focus on scoring goals rather than contributing to the team’s build-up play. According to Prandelli, Vlahovic’s strengths lie in his finishing ability, and he should not shy away from the attack.
With his current form and ability, Vlahovic is certainly one of the best strikers in Europe, and Juventus will be keen to keep him at the club.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Vlahovic’s situation develops. Despite the speculation surrounding his future, he has remained focused on his performances for Juventus, and his goalscoring form has been impressive so far.
