Important shingles at Juventus’ home, in view of the Bianconeri’s upcoming commitments on three fronts (on Sunday there will be the Serie A away match at Napoli’s field, before the challenges with Bologna and Roma, on Wednesday the next Champions League opponent, Pafos, arrives in Turin). Luciano Spalletti will in fact have to renounce Dusan Vlahovic for a long time, ready for surgery and forced to stay away from the field at least until March. In the meantime, Federico Gatti also stopped in the Coppa Italia: the Juventus defender will also end up under the knife, although his stop should last just over a month.

Vlahovic can sign with another club from February 1, his contract with Juventus is expiring in 2026.
The Serbian center forward seemed to be on the sidelines under Thiago Motta and Igor Tudor, then he found himself.

Vlahovic returned to prominence first with Massimo Brambilla and then with Luciano Spalletti.
Juve proposes an 8 million euro per season renewal, well below the player’s demands.
The club can no longer afford 10-12 million salaries for locker room balances.
Vlahovic is aiming for a top salary and a substantial signing bonus.
Tottenham, Newcastle and Manchester United have already shown interest in the Serbian.
Simeone’s Atletico Madrid is also closely following the situation of the center forward.

Barcelona monitors Vlahovic ahead of separation from Robert Lewandowski.
Massimiliano Allegri would like to return to coach the Slavic at Milan.
Giorgio Chiellini said: "For us, he is and remains a Juventus player".

“Following the muscle problem suffered during the Juventus-Cagliari match – wrote the Bianconeri website in an official note issued on Wednesday -, this morning Dusan Vlahovic underwent radiological investigations at J|medical. Instrumental examinations showed a high-grade injury of the muscle-tendon junction of the left long adductor’s adductor. Further medical consultations will be necessary to determine the most appropriate therapeutic modalities”. He is therefore expected to undergo an operation, already scheduled for Thursday, which will take place in London presumably later this afternoon.

The Bianconeri have therefore also issued a bulletin on the defender&#8217s condition. “Federico Gatti, who was substituted during the second half of the Juventus-Udinese match following a sprain to his right knee, underwent radiological examinations at J|medical this morning. Instrumental examinations showed an injury to the medial meniscus, such that surgery will be necessary and will be performed in the coming days” reads the note. In this case, the’surgery will take place in France, in Lyon to be precise. The Old Lady number 4’s operation is also scheduled for Thursday.

Great headaches then for Spalletti, who is awaiting matches that could have colossal specific weight for his Juventus ambitions in the continuation of the season. As much in Serie A as in Europe.
