Dusan Vlahovic on Man United interest as he inherits Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus shirt number
02.02.2022 - 14:29 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
New Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has played down the importance of taking the No7, previously worn by Cristiano Ronaldo, after securing his move from Fiorentina.
The Serbian talisman completed his transfer last month, putting an end to a bubbling transfer saga that saw Manchester United among the host of clubs linked with a move for the forward.
This season, he has scored 17 goals in 21 appearances, leaving La Viola in seventh place in Serie A..
He takes over the responsibility of having the famous seven shirt, one Ronaldo wore during his time in Italy where scored 101 goals in 134 appearances.
"The number seven jersey represents nothing. All the numbers are important here. I chose it because it’s the closest to number nine,” Vlahovic said speaking in a press conference via Football Italia.
"I am here to help my teammates and reach our targets. The shirt number is not important. Determination and commitment are what matter the most. I don’t care about the rest. The most important thing is to win games."
January saw a number of reports linking the 22-year-old away from Fiorentina including speculation over a move to the Premier League.
But Vlahovic cooled talks of a move to England insisting his Serie A swap was an "easy" decision.
He added: "There were many rumours about foreign clubs, but the choice was easy because the club and I have a similar DNA. Fight and suffer when needed.
"I think it’s part of my mentality as well, so the choice was not difficult."
