Serie A starts in ten days, Juventus will have their final test on Saturday, against Atalanta, and that match could provide a definitive answer to the question - what is the future? Vasilije Adžić.
While in recent days it was written that the loan was certain (Palermo, Sassuolo, Verona...), "Gazeta delo sport" brings a different version, with a previously unknown detail - "Tudor Igor "extremely appreciates the 19-year-old footballer."
He values him so much that "at no point was the Montenegrin boy considered to be on the transfer list."
"Only an offer that cannot be refused could offer a different scenario, but for now, the club and coach are focused on giving this, always dedicated and smiling young man, time, trust and, above all, space to play," claims Gazeta.
The numbers, however, do not support this thesis.
Adžić is at Tiaga Mote He rarely got a chance, although he had minor problems with injuries, especially in the first third of the season (he missed three matches for the Montenegrin national team), and the same continued with Tudor.
In total, Adžić made six appearances in Serie A, one each in the Champions League and Coppa Italia, and had a brief role in June's Club World Cup, which led to him not appearing at the European U19 Championship in Romania.
His minutes and performance in Italy were tied to Juve's Next Gen team - ten games in Serie C, four goals and two assists (he also played for the next gen last night, in a test match against the first team).
At the same time, he also had an episode with Tudor from the May match against Lazio at the Olimpico, where he came on in the 76th minute and came off ten minutes later. The Croatian coach said immediately after the match that he had apologized to Adžić and Conseil, who experienced the same footballing inconvenience, so the case was quickly closed.
Vasilije Adžić played 9 official matches for Juventus - six in Serie A, one each in the Champions League, Coppa Italia and the recent Club World Cup.
Although he has not shown that his trust in Adžić has increased so far, Gazeta delo sport states that Tudor has shown in the two control matches so far that he is looking for a position in the team, not as a player in the first 11, but as an alternative for multiple positions.
Thus, the newspaper writes, against Ređana (2:2) Adžić played in the second half as an offensive midfielder, with Kenana Jildiza, and who Vlahovic - "he thus announced that he wants to test him as an alternative to Yildiz, which means that he plays as an offensive midfielder on the left side, while having the freedom to go inside and be in the central attacking zone."
Adžić played a similar role in the 25th minute of the game against Borussia Dortmund (2:1 for Juventus), where he again entered the middle from the left side, right behind the forward Vlahović.
"In short, Tudor highly values his abilities and would like to keep him. Adžić, on the other hand, is doing everything he can to make up for what he missed last season. He always has the option of Juventus' youth team and Serie C as additional training and matches, but his goal is the first team, and that is also the goal of his coach," concludes "Gazeta delo sport".
