Dusan Vlahovic wasn\u2019t rushed into the starting lineup after missing a couple of games due to muscle fatigue, and Juventus coach Thiago Motta suggested that his omissions against Milan and Club Brugge also derived from technical decisions.<\/p>\n
According to Corriere dello Sport <\/em>(via Tuttomercatoweb<\/em>), it\u2019s far from certain the Serb will get the nod versus Napoli on Saturday, even though Nicolas Gonzalez hasn\u2019t been productive as a false-nine. The Bianconeri<\/em> will have newcomer Randal Kolo Muani at their disposal for the first time. He\u2019s been training with them in the last few days.<\/p>\n Vlahovic didn\u2019t have an impact midweek while Juventus were laying siege, turning the ball over four times in seven touches. He hasn\u2019t scored since December 17th<\/sup> in a Coppa Italia match versus Cagliari. He has done 7 times in 17 Serie A matches and 4 in 6 Champions League ones.<\/p>\n Per Calciomercato<\/em>, despite the drama, his struggles, and the issues related to his renewal, there\u2019s nothing in the works for a January exit at this stage. The parties plot to take stock in February. An agreement on an extension is increasingly unlikely.<\/p>\n Motta isn\u2019t new to feuding with his star strikers, but the problems go way beyond the pitch, his lack of production, and the coach\u2019s demands. Some officials would surely be more than happy to wipe his mammoth salary off the books sooner rather than later, but it affects his valuation too. Without a late surprise, they\u2019ll have to find a way to make it work somewhat serenely for six months, or it\u2019ll be a topic of conversation in every match.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Juventus and Vlahovic<\/h3>\n
