Montenegrin talent Vasilije Adzic is set to make his Juventus first-team debut against Empoli on Saturday and according to Il Corriere dello Sport, he could even start at the Stadio Castellani.
Juventus’ new signing Adzic is likely to make his first-team debut for the Bianconeri on Sunday in a Serie A away match against Empoli.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Adzic is “destined” to make his first appearance for the Bianconeri against the Tuscans, but he also has a good chance of starting.
The 18-year-old signed for Juventus in January 2024 but only joined Turin this summer.
Adzic: Juventus new signing set to make Serie A debut against Empoli
Due to injury, he was unable to play the first three games of the season against Como, Hellas Verona and Roma. However, he trained with the rest of the squad during the international break and will be available for selection this weekend.
Juventus will have to cope without the injured Francisco Conceiçao, while Nico Gonzalez will return from his international squad with Argentina, where he remained despite a minor injury last week.
Adzic, an attacking midfielder who can also play as a left winger, trained with Juventus’ first team during pre-season, and Motta spoke highly of the 19-year-old in July.
“Adzic is a very interesting player. I’m very happy with what I’ve seen so far,” said the Bianconeri coach.
“He is young, but I don’t really care about his age. I look at the present. He trains well. He has excellent physical condition. He has good technique and I see him very well prepared mentally.”
