Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic caused controversy on social media by liking a Jude Bellingham Instagram post praising the Merengues after their win against the Bianconeri.
Real Madrid beat Juventus 1-0 in the Club World Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday, eliminating the Old Lady from the competition.
Vlahovic was an unused substitute at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where the Merengues emerged victorious thanks to a Gonzalo Garcia goal in the second half.
After the match, Vlahovic liked an Instagram post from one of his opponents, Bellingham, who had congratulated his teammate on reaching the Club World Cup quarter-finals.
Vlahovic’s social media activity adds to reports that the Serbia international is living in a tense situation at the Allianz Stadium, as he’s unwilling to leave despite his contract expiring in June 2026.
Vlahovic will earn €12m for the final year of his contract in Turin and has already rejected an offer from Fenerbahçe.
Juventus are preparing for his exit, having reached an agreement to sign Jonathan David as a free agent.
