Yesterday Juve’s brand new signing Vlahovic scored a great goal in the Champions League round of 16, showing that he is ready to lead his team to glory despite his youth. The Italian outfit paid €80m for the Serbian striker in January, and Vlahovic has already fitted perfectly into Allegri’s scheme.
What few know is that Vlahovic was about to sign for FC Barcelona a few years ago. The newspaper Sport affirms that in 2020, the Serbian was on the culé agenda, which at that time could have come through a transfer with a mandatory purchase of 18 million from Fiorentina for his pass. However, the sports management, headed by Abidal, ruled it out.
To be fair, Barca had not yet gone into total decline and Vlahovic had not exploded, so making such a bet, for a youngster who had only scored 8 goals, was risky. In addition, it is true that the type of striker he is does not fit too well into the Barça scheme, although as he is showing, with how good he is and the number of goals he promises, he would finally fit in.
Now Vlahovic is 22 years old and promises to become one of the highest scoring strikers in Europe, he has arrived at the perfect team to become a star, and we will surely talk about him a lot in the coming years together with Haaland and Mbappé.
