Adzic Named Man of the Match, Italian Media: Juventus Still Retain His Buy-Back Rights

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Adzic was named Man of the Match, while Juventus still control his future. Sassuolo drew 2-2 with Bologna at the Dall'Ara Stadium, with Adzic scoring his team's second goal and providing four key passes. Dovbyk equalized in the final minutes.

The Montenegro midfielder, born in 2006, also completed 16 successful passes and two successful dribbles, with only one mistake in 33 touches. He also made important contributions without the ball.

After the match, Adzic was asked about scoring in the third round for two consecutive seasons. He said: "I was actually thinking about this today. I know I scored my first goal in the third round last year, and I wanted to do it again. I always want to score, but it is not easy."

Adzic has already scored this season in the Coppa Italia match against Cesena on August 17, then provided an assist against Torino, and scored again against Bologna. This once again proved that his decision to choose Sassuolo over Cagliari this summer was the right one. Adzic temporarily left Juventus because he was not guaranteed consistent playing time.

Spalletti may feel regret over Adzic's performance and Juventus' midfield display. According to the agreement reached between Sassuolo and Juventus, Juventus still control the future of the 20-year-old midfielder. Sassuolo paid a €500,000 loan fee and can make the transfer permanent for €12 million; next summer, Juventus can exercise a buy-back option by paying Sassuolo an additional €1.7 million.
