Claudio Marchisio critiques the departure of Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus

Claudio Marchisio has publicly criticized the decision made by Dusan Vlahovic to leave Juventus following the conclusion of last season. Negotiations regarding a contract extension reportedly stalled because the striker requested a higher salary than the club proposed. Juventus aimed to reduce the player's monthly wage from 1 million euros to meet new financial parameters. While Vlahovic claimed the club lacked interest in retaining him, Marchisio suggested the player should have accepted a pay cut to remain in Turin. Marchisio further noted that Vlahovic opted to join a team that does not participate in the Champions League, rather than staying to work on his relationship with the organization.
