Any coach would undoubtedly welcome the wealth of offensive options that Juventus now commands. Beyond a progressively more decisive Dusan Vlahovic, manager Igor Tudor can also rely on two recent acquisitions, Openda and David. These talented players arrived during the latest transfer window, initially brought in to bolster the attack and potentially cover for a foreseen departure of the Serbian striker, a move that ultimately did not materialize.
The challenge for the manager now is to effectively deploy three top-tier center-forwards within a tactical system that typically accommodates only one. This depth, however, has certainly paid dividends, particularly with Vlahovic frequently making a significant impact when brought on from the bench. The team`s overall attacking performance has been a source of satisfaction for the Bianconeri coach, with eight goals already scored in the league (two credited to Dusan), and a notable four goals in a single Champions League fixture – the thrilling 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund – where Vlahovic again contributed two crucial strikes.
Despite the current on-field success and offensive prowess, there`s a lingering note of concern regarding Dusan Vlahovic. His contract is slated to expire in June 2026, and according to the latest reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, he is expected to depart Juventus as a free agent. This situation presents a bittersweet dilemma for the club, as they navigate immediate triumphs with an eye on a significant future challenge.
