DU-N US OVER
DUSAN VLAHOVIC has been accused of betraying Fiorentina by the club's president for not signing a new contract and joining Juventus instead.
The Serbian striker was on the brink of a move to Arsenal before making a dramatic U-turn to join Juve for £62million in January.

The Gunners were reportedly willing to pay the 22-year-old £300,000 per week.
But he opted for Juve instead to the dismay of Fiorentina's ultras who berated the striker once the transfer was completed.
One of ultras' most notorious groups ruthlessly labelled Vlahovic as a "little man with no balls."
And chilling threats were made toward the striker's life when Juve played Fiorentina earlier this year.

Now, Fiorentina's president Rocco Benito Commisso has come out to lambast Vlahovic.
He claims Vlahovic "ruined" the club when he failed to follow through on his promise to extend his contract in Florence which meant the club had no time to replace him with another striker.
Commisso ranted to : "The young gentleman ruined us. He promised us he would renew and we didn't get anyone in September."
Vlahovic also complicated matters for Fiorentina when he turned down big-money moves to several of Europe's biggest clubs, Commisso declared.

The club's president added: "He refused Arsenal, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and closed with Juventus in just one week."
Vlahovic even ignored Fiorentina's calls when Arsenal agreed a £50m deal with the Serie A side.
But Commisso and Fiorentina did at least gain a little revenge over Vlahovic when they beat Juve 2-0 in the final game of the Serie A season on Saturday.
