Two Superstars Desperate to Leave Juventus After Thiago Motta Fallout | OneFootball

Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz are reportedly determined to cut ties with Juventus after falling out of favor with Thiago Motta. According to La Repubblica via Ilbianconero, both players are unhappy with their current status at the Allianz Stadium and want out.

Vlahovic’s contract in Turin runs out in the summer of 2026. Since Juventus splashed out an eye-watering €70 million to sign him from Fiorentina in January 2022, they’re understandably eager to recoup their investment.

However, time has become a factor. Juventus must either extend Vlahovic’s contract soon or offload him in the summer. Otherwise, they’d risk losing him on a free transfer. Meanwhile, the Serbia international wouldn’t mind leaving the club at the end of the season.

Motta benched the 25-year-old in last weekend’s 2-1 away loss to Serie A leaders Napoli. Indeed, winter signing Randal Kolo Muani took his place and scored on his Juventus debut. Despite returning to the starting XI against Benfica on Wednesday, Vlahovic failed to score again.

Often blasted for his inconsistent form, he could soon wave goodbye to Juventus. The same goes for Douglas Luiz, who joined the club in a €50m deal from Aston Villa last summer. Despite arriving as a household name, the Brazilian midfielder has flopped in Serie A.

Manchester City and several other foreign sides are keen on the Juventus outcast. Meanwhile, the Turin giants are open to sanctioning his departure for the right price. Now that the player himself wants to leave, it’s only a matter of time before this nightmare ends.
