Adzic: New Juventus signing expected to make Serie A debut vs. Empoli | OneFootball

Montenegro talent Vasilije Adzic is expected to make his senior Juventus debut against Empoli on Saturday and according to Il Corriere dello Sport, he could even start at the Stadio Castellani.

New Juventus signing Adzic will likely make his senior debut with the Bianconeri on Sunday in an away Serie A game against Empoli.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Adzic is ‘destined’ to make his first appearance with the Bianconeri against the Tuscans, but he also has a fair chance of starting.

The 18-year-old signed for Juventus in January 2024 but only moved to Turin this summer.

Due to an injury, he was not available for the opening three games of the season against Como, Hellas Verona, and Roma. However, he’s been training with the rest of the team during the international break and will be available for selection this weekend.

Juventus must cope without the injured Francisco Conceiçao, while Nico Gonzalez will return from international duty with Argentina, where he remained despite suffering a minor injury last week.

Adzic, an attacking midfielder who can also play as a left winger, trained with Juventus’ first team during the pre-season, and Motta spoke highly of the 19-year-old in July.

“Adzic is a very interesting player. I am very happy with what I’ve seen so far,” said the Bianconeri boss.

“He’s young, but I don’t look at the age much. I look at the present. He is training well. He has great physicality. He has good technique, and I see him as very prepared mentally.”
