Juventus's attack reportedly has a new leading man.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Bianconeri have won the race to sign Fiorentina star striker Dušan Vlahović, the 21-year-old Serbian who has risen to prominence with his goal-scoring exploits over the last two seasons. The two clubs have agreed on a reported fee of €75 million ($84.6 million), with Vlahović due to make €7 million ($7.8 million) net salary per season over the course of his long-term deal.
Vlahović scored 21 goals in Serie A last season, and he's on pace to obliterate that personal best, with 17 goals in 21 appearances so far this season. He is tied with Lazio's Ciro Immobile for the lead in Italy's top flight, and he'll bring a much-needed spark to a Juventus attack that has been sorely lacking in that area. Juve's leading scorer this season, Paulo Dybala, has seven goals, and the club has fewer goals than 10 other clubs in the league. One of those clubs is Fiorentina, which trails Juventus by just six points in the table with a game in hand.
