Montenegrin talent Vasilije Adzic has been turning heads with his impressive performances for Juventus Next Gen, scoring four goals and providing two assists in just nine appearances. At 18 years old, the attacking midfielder is already showcasing maturity and skill beyond his years, leading to discussions about a potential loan move to accelerate his development.
Adzic’s Growth and Potential
Tuttosport report how, after recovering from injuries that initially hindered his progress, Adzic has flourished in Serie C, earning praise from football icon Dejan Savicevic. The Montenegrin legend described Adzic as “wasted in Serie C” and suggested that a loan to a Serie A club would provide the competitive environment needed for him to grow further. Adzic has already debuted in Serie A and the Champions League, proving he has the talent to compete at higher levels.
Lecce Expresses Interest
Pantaleo Corvino, Lecce’s sporting director known for discovering talents like Stevan Jovetic, is reportedly eyeing Adzic for a summer loan. Lecce’s focus remains on securing their Serie A survival, but Corvino sees the young midfielder as a promising addition who could shine in Italy’s top flight.
Comparisons and Expectations
Adzic’s performances have drawn comparisons to Kenan Yildiz, another Juventus prospect who had a solid but less impactful stint with the Next Gen squad at the same age. While Yildiz recorded two goals in 14 appearances, Adzic has already doubled those numbers, highlighting his potential to make an immediate impact if given the chance.
Juventus’ Decision
The final decision on Adzic’s future will rest with Juventus’ next head coach, as Igor Tudor’s position remains uncertain. The club is carefully evaluating whether a loan move would benefit both Adzic and their long-term plans. With interest from clubs like Lecce and potential opportunities abroad, Adzic appears poised to take the next step in his promising career.
