‼️👀 Vlahovic is willing to accept a salary of €6.5-€6m and has even lowered, which is favorable to Juventus, and has lowered his signing bonus requests from €15m to €7-8m.
The big problem currently remains the commissions demanded by his father Milos and his entourage that insist on a fee around €8-10m. Juventus is only willing to pay €5m in commissions.
If the total signing is around €10-12m, along with the €6.5m salary, Juventus might consider a renewal and close the deal. If not the operation will fall through

@mirkonicolino For a whole year, we’re debating should Juve renew a guy who had by far the highest salary in the league, who never scored 20 league goals for Juve, who was never decisive in the most important matches. This club and the people who work there are so deluded.
@mirkonicolino Why are we not pointing fingers at those disgraceful players. Fuck them and fuck all the executives who brought them to Juve. All of them are unworthy of Juventus.
This clip perfectly sums up how complete of a player McKennie is:
He lays it off, wins the ball back with a clean tackle, and plays an inch-perfect pass that results in another chance. All within ten seconds.
The Swiss Army Knife for a reason.

@MatthijsPog@CorSport Would keep those and Thuram. The best thing to do is to give maximum focus to signing 4 high profile players, rather then 7-8.
I would go for Carnessechi, Tonali and Osimhen.
That’s more than 200mil.€. But with those guys we can aim for scudetto and be important in UCL.

ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO: "After the match ended and we won the World Cup, I left my teammates to celebrate with the precious trophy and went to see my club friend, Trezeguet. There were signs of sadness on his face. I tried to remind him that he was the one who gave his country the European Cup in 2000, and that these things happen in football. I comforted him a little, and then I headed to the French team's locker room to find my old friend Zidane. We shared an indescribable friendship. I went to console him and wish him better luck, especially after his departure in that manner.
In the tunnel that leads to the French team's locker room, I found him alone, with the bitterness of defeat and the red card in his heart. He was surprised by my visit, and the first thing he said to me was: 'Wow, how did you leave all that noisy celebration and come here?'
I told him: 'Joy won't make me forget my friend, the one I played with He hugged me warmly, took off his shirt, and gave it to me with a personal autograph, while telling me in Italian: 'Thank you, my friend. I'm happy for you. You're the best l've ever played with, and you really deserve this World Cup championship.'"

⚫️⚪️ Andrea Barzagli – "My career has only one title: JUVENTUS."
"I was fading. I no longer had that spark in my eyes or any reason to get out of bed in the morning. I felt distant from everything: from my city, from my own identity, even from myself.
In Palermo, I regained a bit of peace. Lippi even considered me as an alternative for the World Cup—an enormous honor. Then came Wolfsburg: a strong team, but an environment that burned me out from the inside.
I was 30 years old, and I felt like a football wreck: without enthusiasm, without motivation, without the strength to fight. I was a defender who couldn't even defend himself anymore.
It was 2011.
Dinner with friends. My phone vibrates, rings, won't let up. I ignore it. I thought it was someone from the club—and I didn't have the energy or the headspace to talk to anyone.
I get home around 10 p.m., check the missed calls… and suddenly my breath catches: DEL PIERO.
I call back, my hands shaking:
— "Alex, am I bothering you?"
— "Come on, Barza. I need to ask you something: how are you feeling physically?"
I was speechless. I mumble:
— "Physically? Not like back when we won the World Cup…"
He laughs. Then he pulls out the ace up his sleeve:
— "Juventus asked me to recommend a defender. I gave them your name. Get on a plane and come. We need someone to lead the defence. We need you."
I was dumbstruck.
As a kid, I'd watched Del Piero destroy opponents and light up stadiums—and now this icon was calling me to bring me back to life.
— "I can't do it, Alex. I think I'm done."
Silence. Then an explosion:
— "Done?! Are you crazy? You haven't even started showing what you've got inside you. Come to Turin. We need to be reborn. And you need to be reborn with us."
I try to protest:
— "I'm 30 years old, I don't have the hunger anymore."
— "30 years old? That's right in the middle of the road. You've got great seasons ahead of you. Especially at Juventus."
That conversation didn't just convince me.
It saved me.
Even with a thousand lives, I'd never be able to thank Del Piero enough.
At Juventus, I didn't just play—I found myself.
I lifted my head, I fought, I discovered the true essence of football.
Talk about Real Madrid, Barcelona… Juventus can't be compared to anyone.
It's a universe of its own.
One day, Fiorentina offered me a higher salary—400 thousand euros more. I turned it down—without even thinking for a minute—because this isn't about money.
My story, my soul, my name—they were already etched somewhere else.
My career has one title: JUVENTUS."
