A debut in Serie A, then in the Champions League, and then injuries and Juventus' poor form made Thiago Motta "forget" about the Montenegrin talent in the team.
Vasilije Adžić, meanwhile, started playing for the Turin giant's youth team and immediately showed his class there, as well as the fact that he had outgrown that age, as well as Serie C. Because of this, there is increasing interest from Serie A teams who would like to bring the former Buducnost midfielder on loan next season.
Italian journalist Niko Skira writes that several of them have already contacted Juventus' top brass, but he does not name them.
On the other hand, some media outlets have written in recent days that the most persistent are Lecce and its sports director Pantaleo Corvino, the man who has already discovered the Montenegrins - Mirko Vučinić, Stevan Jovetić and Nikola Krstović.
As Juve still doesn't know which coach will lead the team next season (Moto was recently replaced by Igor Tudor), it seems that a loan and lots of minutes in Serie A for Adzic next season would be a good thing.
And whether Corvino will actually go on the offensive to sign our talent will depend on whether Lecce will survive in Serie A this season.
Adžić's potential move from Juventus to Lecce reminded the media from the Apennines of the players who connect these two clubs, but also of the fact that most of them went from the south to the north of the country.
Thus, "Calciomercato" recalled that Juve had signed legendary "Baron" Franco Cauzio from Lecce, then defender Sergio Brio, as well as Antonio Conte, the former captain of the "Bianconeri".
All of them were born in Lecce, and it was from the club with "Via del Marea" that Mirko Vučinić, the first captain of Montenegro, made it to the Juventus jersey.
The aforementioned media outlet also states that all of this shows that Juve has lost its power when it comes to bringing in players from domestic clubs and is increasingly turning abroad.
When it comes to departures in the opposite direction, the one who left the biggest mark on the "Via del Mare" among former Juventus players was Sergei Aleinikov, a former member of the Soviet Union national team.
