Antonio Cassano has generated discussion by comparing Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic to Lazio’s in-form forward Valentín Castellanos, suggesting the Argentinian is the better player. Cassano has been publicly critical of Vlahovic this season, citing the Serbian’s inconsistent play as a key issue.

Despite Vlahovic’s recent resurgence—scoring twice in his previous two games and winning the faith of fans and manager Thiago Motta—Cassano is dubious. He believes Castellanos, who has impressed for Lazio, is a better match for Juventus and might outperform Vlahovic if given the opportunity.

Cassano’s remarks are noteworthy since Vlahovic, while erratic at times, has had glimpses of brilliance and is still battling to establish himself as Juventus’ first-choice striker. His recent form implies he can lead the line, but Cassano feels Castellanos has more overall talent and might give more to the Bianconeri.

Cassano stated, as reported by Calciomercato:

“Would Taty, who I admire a lot because he understands how to play football, is nasty, and can score goals, do worse than Vlahovic at Juventus? In some cases, I believe he outperforms Vlahovic. The football I see is different. With Castellanos, Juventus may compete for the Scudetto”.

Juventus FC Says

DV9 has been in excellent form in recent weeks, and we must continue to support him so that he may continue on his current run.

Castellanos is a good player, but he may struggle if he transfers to a bigger club like Juventus, therefore we must be careful what we ask for.
