The 25-year-old Serbian striker was expected to leave Juventus due to his inconsistent form and high transfer value, reportedly €83.5 million. However, his performance has improved, and he has scored four goals across all competitions, including a crucial brace in the Champions League draw against Dortmund.
Vlahovic's current success can be attributed to the change in coaching style under Igor Tudor, who uses a 3-4-2-1 formation that allows Vlahovic to play to his strengths. This setup reduces the pressure on him and enables him to focus on scoring goals, which he has been doing effectively.
With nine touches in the opposition box and six shots, 50% of which have been on target, in his 168 minutes of Serie A play, Vlahovic is becoming more clinical and efficient in front of goal.
Under Tudor, Vlahovic is no longer required to drop deep and recycle the ball, as he was under previous manager Max Allegri. Instead, he can focus on scoring goals, which has led to his improved performance.
Vlahovic's resurgence has the potential to make him a generational striker, and Juventus would be wise to build their team around him, given his goal-scoring rate of one goal every 44.5 minutes this season.
