Former Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli says Juventus should stick with Dusan Vlahovic.

The former Viola striker has been linked with a move away this summer - with Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku mentioned as a replacement.

But Prandelli told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Absolutely not! I like Lukaku, but from a technical point of view and the perspective of the two players, I wouldn't give up Dusan for Romelu.

“I don't know if there are economic evaluations and in any case it's not for me to get into that. But technically Vlahovic is indisputable."

“He had a lot of physical problems. Then a forward like Dusan has to play to finish…. Vlahovic has one clear characteristic: he can score goals. And so, the team has to serve him better.

“Dusan feels the goal, he has a fantastic left foot, incredible depth. And he attacks the penalty area with the right timing.

“If you have someone like that, you have to serve him to finish the action. He's capital and I would value him.

"My reasoning is different, Dusan is 23, Lukaku 30. Vlahovic in perspective can become stronger than the Belgian.

"And when he gets a bit of anxiety out of his system, he will be worth more than €100m. Then if Lukaku went to Juve I wouldn't be surprised, I'm not surprised about anything in football anymore."
