Ex-Fiorentina chief Corvino: Vlahovic perfect for Liverpool or Juventus

Former Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino says Dusan Vlahovic could handle a move to England.

Corvino signed Vlahovic for Fiorentina from Partizan Belgrade and is delighted seeing the young Serbia striker meet the expectations he had of the player when bringing him to Italy.

Now in charge of Lecce, Corvino is well aware of the big transfer interest swirling around the player.

Vlahovic is being linked with several Premier League clubs this summer, including Liverpool.

Corvino, when asked about his former signing, told TMW: "Quality has no age and Vlahovic could now play the centre-forward, both in Juventus and in Liverpool or in Tottenham."

The experienced sporting director was also asked whether Vlahovic would feature in his dream attack.

He added: "For my dream team, since I prefer two strikers that complement each other, I would choose him and (Erling) Haaland in attack."

Haaland is currently a star with Borussia Dortmund.

Vlahovic, meanwhile, scored 21 goals in 40 games for the Viola last season. The 21 year-old has a deal with Fiorentina to 2023.

The 21 year-old centre-forward joined Fiorentina in 2018 from Partizan for a knockdown €1.95m. Vlahovic currently has seven caps for Serbia, with two goals.
