Juventus: Dusan Vlahovic takes up Cristiano Ronaldo’s No.7 at Juventus
The City of Florence was in tatters on Friday as Juventus officially announced the signing of Dušan Vlahović for an eye-watering €75m. Vlahović, who also celebrated his 22nd birthday on Friday, did not seem as torn, beaming with pride while giving his first interview with his new side.
“Juventus represents pride, tradition, family,” he told the Juve media department. “Juventus are always there until the last minute, they never give up. The team always comes first, I am at the disposal of the coach and my teammates, who I will try to help in the best way possible.

“We always want more, and we want to improve in the future. Today is my birthday, which is really wonderful, a special day for me. This is one of the happiest birthdays I’ve experienced so far. “I want to make Juventus proud. We will always fight for all goals, as they say, fino alle fine!”
Juventus: Dusan Vlahovic adds up to the Juventus-Fiorentina rivalry
Chiesa suffered hostility in the autumn of 2020, with fans waiting to greet him outside his medical exam with some less than gracious parting shots. When he made his Serie A debut as a 19-year-old, it came at Juventus. He was joined by Federico Bernardeschi in the line-up that day, a man he now counts among his team-mates in Turin.
Bernardeschi was signed in 2017 for €40m and is an example of how it is sometimes the Tuscan club who get the best of the deal. They’ve reinvested that well, while he has struggled to justify the price tag. Vlahovic now joins Bernardeschi and Chiesa as the recent most top signings from who have been stolen away from Fiorentina.

The striker had 18 months remaining on his deal in Tuscany and made it clear he would not sign an extension, rejecting offers which would have made him the Viola’s highest paid player ever. As a result, he now becomes the club’s most expensive sale of all time, with Juventus paying a reported €70 million to sign the 22-year-old – who celebrates his birthday today.
Vlahović has signed a four-year deal at the Allianz Stadium after scoring 49 goals in all competitions in his three-and-a-half seasons in Florence. The Serbia striker, who has seven goals in 14 caps for his country, arrived in Italy in the summer of 2018, joining Fiorentina from Partizan Belgrade.
