Who is Vasilije Adzic, the new face of Juventus who sent Inter's knockout
A flash, an instant, a shot that will remain in the memory of fans. Minute 91 of the Derby d’Italia, September 13, 2025: Juventus and Inter are at 3-3, the Stadium holds its breath. The ball lands at the feet of Vasilije Adzic, just turned nineteen, a Montenegrin with the calm of veterans and the courage of the predestined. With a sharp right-footer from outside the box, the young midfielder drew a parabola that slotted into the crossbar, beating Sommer and giving the Bianconeri an epic 4-3 victory.
That goal, his first in Serie A with the Juventus jersey, is not just a spectacular episode: it is the manifesto of what Adzic can become. Not a comprimario, but a protagonist of Juventus’ future.
Born in 2006 in Nikšić, Montenegro, Adzic grew up footballingly in Budućnost Podgorica, where he made his debut at only 15 years old, scoring on his league debut. His technical qualities, combined with an important physical structure (185 cm and a lot of running), soon attracted the attention of European observers. In July 2024, Juventus decided to bet big on him, bringing him to Turin on a contract until 2027.
Inserted initially between Next Gen and first team, Adzic worked quietly, refining tactics and intensity, but never losing his main characteristic: the courage to take responsibility. Allegri – and the technical staff – have made him grow step by step, aware that they have on their hands a profile capable of changing games.
The goal against Inter came as the natural consequence of this path: a boy who, although very young, does not tremble in front of the most difficult stage in Italian soccer.
Adžić is a modern offensive midfielder: vision of the game, good right foot, insertion skills and a shot from distance reminiscent of great performers of the role. He is pliant and can move as a midfielder, trequartista or tactical second striker. Juventus sees him as a key element in building the future, a profile that combines Balkan quality and European mentality.
The goal in the Derby d’Italia has turned on the spotlight, but the path remains long. Adzic will have to find continuity, consolidate his role in the squad and learn to handle the pressures that a club like Juventus inevitably brings. Meanwhile, however, his name has already entered the hearts of fans.
Maybe, a few years from now, thinking back to that right-footed shot under the curve in the 91st minute, someone will say that there really began the story of Vasilije Adžić, the new face of Juventus.
