Juve, away from the talks between Tudor and the players. And Vlahovic returns to Continassa in advance

Juventus: Tudor Distances Himself from Player Talks as Vlahovic Makes Early Return to Continassa

Turin, [Date] – Juventus’ preseason preparations have taken an unexpected turn as manager Igor Tudor has reportedly stepped back from direct talks with the squad, leaving internal discussions to the club’s leadership. Meanwhile, star striker Dušan Vlahović has made an early return to the Continassa training center, sparking speculation about his role in the team’s revamped tactical setup.

Tudor’s Hands-Off Approach

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Tudor has opted to remain detached from ongoing player negotiations, including contract renewals and transfer discussions. Instead, sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and senior executives are handling these matters, allowing the Croatian coach to focus solely on on-field strategy.

  • Why the distance? Sources suggest Tudor wants to avoid being drawn into internal politics ahead of a critical season.
  • Training intensity: His sessions have emphasized physical conditioning and defensive structure, signaling a pragmatic shift from Allegri’s era.

Vlahovic’s Early Comeback

In a positive development, Vlahović arrived at Continassa ahead of schedule, cutting short his offseason break. The Serbian forward, who scored 16 Serie A goals last season, appears determined to cement his place as Juventus’ attacking focal point under Tudor.

  • Fitness push: Vlahović is working individually with fitness coaches to address past injury concerns.
  • Tactical fit: Tudor’s system could favor his hold-up play, but competition from Moise Kean and potential new signings looms.

What’s Next for Juve?

  • Transfer moves: Giuntoli is pushing to finalize deals for a midfield playmaker and left-back.
  • Preseason tests: Friendlies in August will reveal whether Tudor’s methods are translating.

Key Quote:
“Tudor wants the locker room to self-manage—his job is to build a team that fights for the Scudetto.”
