Juventus confirm capture of Vlahovic from Fiorentina for initial €81.6M

Juventus completed the signing of forward Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina for an initial €81.6 million, the Serie A side announced Friday.

The deal for the Serbian international could rise a further €10 million in add-ons.

Vlahovic, who turned 22 on Friday, was linked with a number of teams, including Arsenal. However, the exciting young forward opted to stay in Italy after agreeing to a four-year deal with Juventus.

He registered 20 goals in all competitions with Fiorentina and is the joint leading scorer in Serie A with 17 goals in 22 appearances.

Vlahovic becomes the latest Fiorentina star to make the switch to Juventus, joining Federico Bernardeschi, Federico Chiesa, and Bianconeri legend Roberto Baggio.
