Juventus are now scared of being outbid by Manchester City in the race to sign Vasilije Adzic.
That is according to Calciomercato.
So, what is the situation involving Manchester City and Vasilije Adzic? Let’s take a look…
Manchester City want Vasilije Adzic
Well, Txiki Begiristain appears to be focused on securing the signatures of some top talents.
Manchester City are already said to be in talks to sign 18-year-old Leny Yoro from Lille.
The treble winners are also confident about signing 17-year-old Claudio Echeverri from River Plate.
Now, Manchester City are targeting Montenegrin wonderkid Adzic.
The Buducnost No.45 has an offer from Juventus on the table and has been tracked by the Italian giants for some time.
However – according to Calciomercato – there is a fear at the Allianz Stadium that Manchester City will enter the room and blow every other side out of the water with a huge offer.
The Italian news outlet add that Buducnost are hoping for a bidding war to break out, as the Montenegrin outfit aim to make as much money as possible from Adzic’s inevitable departure.
Who is Manchester City target Vasilije Adzic?
The 17-year-old is a tremendous talent, although many surely have not heard about him yet.
If that is the case for you, then a comparison to a better known player might help.
Interestingly, Adzic has actually been likened to Kevin De Bruyne – someone Manchester City fans know very well.
It was the Guardian who compared the Montenegro Under-18 international to the Belgian, when including him in their coveted 2023 Next Generation list.
Within the piece, Adzic is described as an “elegant midfielder” as well as an “unpredictable, highly creative” player who is “capable of scoring spectacular goals” from long range.
In fairness, that does sound exactly like De Bruyne.
Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as Manchester City and Juventus battle to sign Adzic.
