The Story in Brief
Serbian international Dusan Vlahovic has signed a three-year deal with Turkish club Besiktas, the club announced on Thursday. The 26-year-old forward, whose contract with Juventus expired this summer, will earn Rs 68 crore (7.5 million euros) per season in Istanbul. He was greeted by a crowd of supporters on arrival.
Vlahovic joined Juventus from Fiorentina in 2022 and scored 68 goals in 168 matches. However, a thigh injury and a calf problem limited him to just seven league goals last season. At Besiktas he will play alongside Belgian forward Leandro Trossard, who joined from Arsenal in July.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that Vlahovic's move to Turkey is a comedown ignores the intensity of the Super Lig. He was in and out of the Juventus team with injuries, scoring only seven league goals last season. A fresh start at Besiktas, who last won the title in 2021, could revive his career. The real test is whether he can stay fit and score 15-plus league goals for a club desperate to bridge the gap with Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.
