Fiorentina forward Dusan Vlahovic is heading for Juventus, according to reports – and Viola fans are not happy with the Serbian striker.

Overnight, a banner was left at the training ground of the club deriding the 21-year-old for making the move across Serie A, with the perpetrators pulling no punches with their star player. 

"l rispetto non si conquista con if goal, Vlahovic: gobbo di merda", the banner read, meaning "Respect is not won with goals, Vlahovic: hunchback of s**t" in the copy. 

An even more threatening message read: "Le tue guardie non ti salveranno la vita. Zingaro, per te è finite," meaning "Your guards won't save your life. Gypsy, it's over for you."

Vlahovic has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League all move but has seemingly left Arsenal in the lurch, with the Gunners having dedicated all of January trying to sign him.

The Serie A star was apparently unconvinced by a move to the Emirates Stadium and prepared to stay in Florence until a bigger bid came in this summer, with the likes of Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Juventus all apparently interested. This new move from Juve – which could bolster their Scudetto hopes – seems to be good enough to up sticks.

This isn't the first time that Italian fans have been livid with a star leaving for Turin.

Federico Bernardeschi became the subject of Florentine furore when his proposed move was met with a banner reading "Who wouldn't like to spit in your face", while Chiesa has similarly been targeted with the "gobbo di merda" insult.
