Allegri’s future at Juventus continues to be a rebus, and on the coach’s fate also depends that of Dusan Vlahovic: if Allegri is confirmed, the Serbian will probably ask for a transfer
Dario Pellegrini, journalist, spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPLAY channel, to give an overview of the possible imminent goodbyes at Juve: the coach is leaving, but if he doesn’t move, Vlahovic could force his transfer.
“If Juve change coach, Vlahovic has a high chance of staying,” the journalist explained. “With Allegri his stay is impossible. They are not made to be in the same team. Who should not move is Chiesa. I asked around and for Juventus Chiesa is considered incedible. His ‘then we’ll see’ is more about the climate of uncertainty. His words yesterday were misunderstood, there is a lot of uncertainty and it is obvious’.
‘Those who are close to Vlahovic are convinced that he still has an international dimension. The certainties are that the player has a rich and remunerative contract, as well as a long one, with Juventus. Juventus can ask so much precisely because of the long contract: they will want to make the player’s weight in the budget count,” Pellegrini further said. “It’s not an amortised investment, it’s a complicated situation. “
Vlahovic away if coach stays, and possible sale of Chiesa…
The interviewee then explained that Juve could consider selling other profiles, for example even Chiesa, but only if cornered. “And this is because the player has a lower cost to the budget. He would be more saleable because Juventus have almost completely written off their investment. “
Allegri
“As far as I understand it, Juventus are maintaining contact with low-cost alternatives,” the interviewee continued. “It will not be able to spend more than 2.5 million per season on average for a footballer. But it is the ownership that has to make this choice, not the club. The club is weak or not prepared to manage the sports area. And that is normal, because most managers are only lent to the world of sport. The example of Giuntoli is illustrative: he is dealing with Elkann himself, Elkann will always be fundamental for Allegri’.
“I saw two different interviews of Allegri: in one he seemed to announce his farewell, while at DAZN he made it clear that he intends to respect his contract. I think he is a little irritated by the months he has spent as the club’s sporting representative now being questioned. He intends to respect the contract, he doesn’t recognise the figure of Calvo that much after what happened’.
“Bayern want a talented forward, but between Vlahovic and Kolo Mouani there is an important investment difference, both in terms of the wage and the price tag. They are two different investment strategies. If he wants to close quickly for the striker, today I don’t know how much Vlahovic can be a good negotiation. Juve today have no sporting direction and it is unclear who will decide. Bayern now interface with brokers, not Juventus. The time will have to come, but when? When will Giuntoli arrive? As of today it is not known. “
