– Vlahovic has scored 20 times in all competitions for Fiorentina this season, in addition to crucial goals in Serbia’s World Cup qualifying campaign.
– His strikes in the victories over Azerbaijan and Luxembourg helped them qualify automatically for the World Cup in Qatar at Portugal’s expense.
– Vlahovic’s contract in Florence deal ran until the end of the 2022-23 season, but Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso revealed in a statement last October that the forward would not be extending it, despite an offer that would have made him the highest-paid player in the club’s history.
– Juve have prised a number of star players away from the Viola over the years, including Roberto Baggio, Giorgio Chiellini, Federico Bernardeschi and, last summer, Federico Chiesa.
