Barça on the Horizon: Serbia's Vlahović Eyes Barcelona as Transfer Rumors Rise

Vlahović to Barcelona: The Latest Transfer Talk

Dušan Ilić, the Serbian national team’s fitness coach and a close ally of Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović, indicated that the player's next destination is likely Barcelona.

Vlahović, whose Juventus contract runs until next summer, has become a hot topic in transfer chatter.

In an interview with Tuttosport, Ilić said that the player should return to Spain to play, and that a move to Barcelona is likely. He noted that Vlahović had a chance to join La Liga through an Atletico Madrid offer before joining Juventus, but chose Italy; now the circumstances are different.

Ilić stressed that Vlahović's career needs a radical change via joining a new sporting project that allows him to shine. He added that Vlahović loves and respects Italy, which is why he stayed for a long time, but now he needs to get back on track and evolve, the only way to return the world-class striker seen at Fiorentina.

Regarding the striker's health, the physical trainer explained that the groin injury is complex and requires careful rehabilitation. He expects a return to the pitch in early March to again find the back of the net; the injury is in a sensitive area that heals slowly, but with doctors and specialists, he should be back soon.

In closing, Ilić, who has worked with Vlahović since 2021, praised the player's professionalism, noting that their collaboration during the pandemic focused on nutrition and fitness. He described Vlahović as an exceptional athlete with great physical abilities who does everything to protect them.

Punchline 1: If he signs with Barcelona, fans will finally see a striker who moves as fast as transfer rumors.

Punchline 2: And if the shot misses, don't worry—the ball will have traveled more leagues than most players do in a career.
