Juventus banks on squad depth, Vlahovic out for good
While Juventus emphasizes that Vlahovic's exit does not leave a long‑term gap, Dusan Vlahovic explains that he turned down an important offer in the summer and moved to Besiktas. Giovanni Carnevali recounts the background to the departure and clarifies why further cooperation is no longer on the table.
According to Hürriyet, Carnevali told Radio Anch'io Sport that he had never spoken to Vlahovic personally. Shortly after his arrival at Juventus, the striker was presented with a significant offer, which he did not accept. For the club, this is a clear sign that he does not chase after players. The word Anch appears in the station's name.
From the director's perspective, the situation was largely resolved. He stressed that he is not someone who chases after players, and that Vlahovic respects the Juventus shirt. If a corresponding offer is not accepted, the club must draw its own conclusions – further cooperation is no longer an issue.
Juventus relies on breadth
Carnevali referred to the breadth of the current Juventus‑squad. Despite prolonged injury absences, the club has numerous key players and wants to continue working with the existing team. The focus is on utilizing the available resources.
Especially the many young players provide the club with various options for further development. Instead of chasing individual professionals, Juventus must consider what can be built with the existing squad. From this perspective, the club does not see Vlahovic's exit as a long‑term weakness.
In summary, Vlahovic's exit shows that Juventus does not rely on past stars, but on the breadth of the current squad. For the future, this means the club will use its resources internally, while Vlahovic continues his career at Besiktas.
