Mauro happy Juventus to sign Fiorentina striker Vlahovic: Just like Vieri

Former Juventus midfielder Massimo Mauro is backing Juventus' move for Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.

Juve are today raising their bid to €75m for the Serbia international.

Mauro told La Gazzetta dello Sport, "He has a great temperament. And you can also see it on the pitch, there is never a quarrel, though he does not hold back.

"As for power, he reminds me of Bobo Vieri. He has to go a long way, but he is 21 years old, he can become very strong. If he has space he can do the job alone.

"What does he lack? A quick feint, clear dribbling. But nobody stops him on the progression."
