Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic has already been linked with a move to Barcelona in the summer transfer window after his contract with the Turin giants expires.
The striker’s good friend and fitness coach at the Serbia national team, Dusan Ilic, has now been quizzed on his future and says he expects Vlahovic to join the Catalan giants.
“He’ll go to Barcelona, for me. Before Juve, he’d spoken to Atlético Madrid, but he chose the Bianconeri. It was an offer he couldn’t refuse,” he told Tuttosport.
“Dusan
loves and respects Italy. That’s why he’s stayed so long, but now he has to resume his career and try to progress. Only then will he return to being the classy player we saw at Fiorentina. He was first class, he always had those skills. He is a world-class goalscorer.”
Vlahovic is currently out injured after undergoing surgery on an adductor injury, but Ilic says he will be back soon.
“The injury occurred in a very specific area, which heals more slowly. Naturally, recovery will take longer. But with the doctors and specialists he has at his disposal, I can say we’ll see him again soon,” he added.
“He’s got a dream body, even in this condition. He could play any sport. I think we’ll see him back on the pitch at the beginning of March. And back to his old habits: scoring goals and destroying opponents’ goals.”
