Whisper+ Analysis
Authenticity (4/5): Bianconeri weighing their options
Multiple reports indicate that Juventus are open to letting Vlahovic leave, with Kolo Muani’s form playing a significant role in their decision.
Reputable Italian news outlet Calciomercato is the latest source suggesting the transfer could take place, and the links appear credible given Vlahovic’s market appeal. Arsenal have also been linked to him in the past.
Value (4/5): High-profile sale
The Turin giants could demand upwards of £60m for the Serbian forward, which would perhaps allow them to reinvest handsomely with a long-term contract for Kolo Muani. Al-Nassr are well poised to part with such a sum of money, even after splashing out on Jhon Duran from Aston Villa.
Suitability (4/5): Out-and-out forward
Vlahovic is a proper centre-forward with an eye for goal. His clinical finishing ability is suited to any league in the world, ultimately making him a worthwhile addition at the heart of the forward line.
Upgrade (3.5/5): Serbian firepower
Vlahovic’s traditional No.9 approach could see him succeed Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, all the while complementing the likes of Sadio Mane, Duran and Wesley upfront.
Logic (2.5/5): Money matters
From a financial perspective, Vlahovic has all the right reasons to move to Saudi Arabia. At just 25, however, that would mean sacrificing the highest levels of football. Nonetheless, it could provide him a new challenge and a fresh start.
Whisper+ Verdict: 18/25
Juve’s growing reliance on Kolo Muani could spell the end of Vlahovic’s time in Turin. With major interests from abroad and financial motivations in play, this summer could mark a significant attacking transition, for both Juventus and Vlahovic.
