In the 17th round of Serie A, Fiorentina beat Salernitana by 4 goals, and Serbia's popular scorer Vlahović scored twice, becoming the youngest player to score at least 15 goals in the first 17 Serie A games in the past 62 years, and with 32 goals in 41 games, he became the third player in Serie A in the past 60 years to break 30 goals in a single natural year, comparable to Toni and Cristiano Ronaldo. Like the new Ibrahimovic sitting on a rocket, attracting the attention of many European giants, Arsenal is even more thirsty, said to be willing to spend 80 million euros to buy, but the former Serie A star Cassano recruited a young master and urged him not to go to Juve and the Gunners.
Against Salernitana, Vlahović scored his second and third goals. He first received Duncan's long-distance direct pass, pulled it outward and then received the ball, accelerated into the penalty area without looking up, the inside arc of the left foot made the ball cross the fingertip of the goalkeeper and hang into the far corner of the goal; and then the alert inserted into place, received Bissoli's left side breakthrough cross, grabbed the point and stabbed the goal.

Vlahović scored five consecutive serie A goals, contributed seven goals and one assist, and has scored 15 goals this season, overriding Lazio's Italian international striker Inmobile with a two-goal advantage, occupying the top spot in Serie A top scorers, and in the list of total top scorers in Europe's top 5 leagues, it is only one goal behind Bayern striker Lewandowski. Vlahovic, who scored 15 goals in the first 17 rounds, is only 21 years old and 318 days old, the youngest player to complete this statistic in the last 62 years.

Sixty-two years ago, in the 1958-59 season, two elder strikers, Inter's legendary Argentine goalscorer Angelillo and Milan's Brazilian king Altafini, scored 22 goals and 16 goals respectively in the first 17 rounds, when both legends were younger than Vlahović, of whom Altafini was only 20 years old.

After scoring twice in this campaign, Vlahović scored 32 goals in 41 Serie A games he has played in 2021, becoming the third player in Serie A to break the 30 mark in a single natural year in the last 60 years, except for him, only Tony and C Ronaldo have done it in 2005 (31 goals) and 2020 (33 goals), and the Purple Lily have three rounds of Serie A to play before the end of the year (against Benevento, Sassuolo and Verona), Vlahovic is completely likely to surpass Cristiano Ronaldo. Become the player who has scored the most goals in a single natural year in Serie A in the past 60 years.
On the same day, Vlahović's idol Ibrahimovic achieved the feat of breaking 300 goals in the five major leagues, in fact, compared with the Swedish Tower of Sweden in his forties, Vlahović started earlier in the five major leagues, Ibrahimovic joined Juventus from Ajax in August 2004, he was almost 23 years old, Vlahović had already ushered in his fourth season of Serie A journey, if he can grow steadily and have the staying power comparable to Ibrahimovic, then surpassing idols is not a completely impossible task.
Such a magical Vlahović, Fiorentina also knows that he can not stay, the Purple Lily top management has made it clear that if you want to take Vlahović away in the winter transfer period, you need at least 70 million euros in cash, and the most fierce pursuit of Vlahović's offensive is Arsenal and Juve, and the British media even revealed that the Gunners are willing to pay 80 million euros. But in an interview with the Italian media, the former Serie A star bad boy Cassano reminded the younger generations: don't go to Juve, don't go to Arsenal, go to Manchester City, follow Guardiola, you can quickly reach the heights of Haaland, otherwise go to Tottenham Hotspur, Conte will also train you to the level of Lukaku.
