Juventus’ move for Dusan Vlahovic could see them miss out on Gianluca Scamacca.
The Sassuolo striker has been on the Bianconeri’s radar for some time now as he develops his talents with The Black and Greens.
Juve started paying attention to his development from last season when he was on loan at Genoa.
He has continued to do well at Sassuolo, and he could move to a top club soon.
Inter Milan has been Juve’s main competitor for his signature for some time now.
They also like his profile and want to add him to their squad.
Tuttosport claims Juve’s move for Vlahovic will now make it easy for the Nerazzurri to sign him.
It claims because the Bianconeri are focused on signing the Serbian, Inter is now leading the race for the Italian striker.
They want to sign him to prepare for the eventuality that Lautaro Martinez is wanted by a club that can pay up to 80m euros.
Juve FC Says
Vlahovic will solve most of our goal-scoring problems, but we are not lacking in alternative talents.
Moise Kean and Kaio Jorge haven’t been in top form, but they have the potential to do as well as Scamacca is doing now.
We don’t need to spend so much money on different attackers when we can develop the other options in our squad.
not exactly a top priority
Scamacca is underrated. I had actually always thought Juve were using Vlahovic as a decoy/distraction to sign Scamacca. I would have no problem paying €40m for him, but signing him is no longer a priority now that we have Vlahovic.
I have yet to see anything from Kean or Kaio Jorge to indicate they are ready to be backup strikers let alone starters. I would opt to allow Kean to return to Everton and loan out Kaio Jorge.
The issue is that with Kean struggling and Jorge needing experience, Juve need a back-up striker for Vlahovic. So Scamacca should still be on our radar as he is a potential star, is Italian, and it will stop Inter getting him. We are Juventus, and we should be getting the best Italian talent but I feel as if we are allowing Inter too much room in this regard.
