Juventus Striker Vlahovic Faces Death Threat: Investigation Underway

A concerning incident has emerged involving Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian forward, who recently scored a crucial penalty in a 2-2 draw against Venezia, reportedly faced a death threat from an individual supporter in the stadium. This alarming development has prompted an investigation by local authorities.

According to reports, Vlahovic’s reaction after the match was not due to general booing or chants from the Juventus fanbase, but rather a specific threat made by a single fan. The police are now examining video footage from the stadium to identify the source of any intimidating statements directed at the player.

In response to the incident, Vlahovic took to social media, stating: “I understand the disappointment with recent results, and you have every right to express it. I’ve always respected you, giving my all for the shirt, and I thank you for your daily support. Now it’s important to continue supporting and moving forward UNITED together. Until the end.”

As Juventus prepares for their upcoming Coppa Italia match against Cagliari, all eyes will be on how the fans receive Vlahovic. Meanwhile, discussions about the player’s contract renewal have become increasingly complex. With his current deal running until June 2026 and a substantial salary increase planned for next season, the club is seeking a response from Vlahovic’s representatives by Christmas. However, negotiations appear to have cooled, leading to growing pessimism about reaching an agreement.

In light of these developments, Juventus is reportedly exploring alternative options, including Manchester United’s Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee, who previously played under Thiago Motta at Bologna. The situation remains fluid, with the club preparing for various scenarios as they navigate this challenging period both on and off the pitch.
