Serbia star dates ‘Italian Megan Fox’ and denied affair with team-mate’s spouse
Serbia will be hoping star striker Dusan Vlahovic can fire them into the Euro 2024 knockout stages when they face Denmark.
The Juventus hitman – who bagged 18 goals in 38 games last season – is a formidable forward for club and country, which has seen him linked with Premier League giants Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea. And he’s also never far from media headlines and controversy.
Vlahovic captured a lot of attention during a breakthrough 18 months at Fiorentina, but made a move to Juventus for £66million, much to the disappointment of his former supporters who protested the transfer. Understandably so, after he netted 41 goals in 64 matches for La Viola.

Soon after the move, the 24-year-old became known for dating Miss Italy winner Carolina Stramare – compared to Hollywood megastar Megan Fox for her sultry looks and stunning figure. Stramare, 25, has more than 500,000 followers on Instagram and has been dubbed the ‘Italian Megan Fox’ by multiple outlets in Italy.
Vlahovic’s partner also has links to football, as she has hosted coverage of Serie B, Italy’s second division, proving she’s more than just a model. The Genoa-born stunner captured the Miss Italia title in 2019.

The undeniable beauty of Stramere makes the allegations that emerged during the 2022 World Cup all the more bizarre – when Vlahovic was accused of straying from her side to sleep with his team-mate’s wife.
After being largely absent from the tournament, rumours sparked he was having an affair with Ana Rajkovic, the better half of goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic. And after a heated exchange with the media, Vlahovic took matters onto the pitch.
After netting for Serbia against Switzerland, Vlahovic squeezed his privates in a – erm – strong response to his detractors. Vlahovic, Rajkovic, and Ana all denied the rumours – with the Juve man even addressing it in a press conference.

“I am sorry to have to start the press conference in the World Cup this way, but I have to talk about it because this is my name being bandied about,” Vlahovic said. “What we all read and hear about, there’s no need to comment on something so absurd.
“Evidently, these people are bored and have nothing better to do because they are frustrated or angry, but working against the national interest of the team at the moment is obviously their main job right now.”
Vlahovic – who set an incredible Champions League record by scoring for Juventus just 32 seconds into his debut in the competition – added: “These stories are ridiculous, I just want to protect my name and my integrity, so I will take legal action if necessary.

“It’s not the first time this has happened, I would’ve hoped that people would support the team before such an important match, but instead we are forced to talk about things that have nothing to do with it.
“These are people with empty CVs who achieved nothing, but they will certainly not get extra attention off my name. They have always been small people and prove it day by day.”

Ana – who has has long been in a relationship with the Mallorca goalkeeper and married him in August 2018 – similarly rubbished the rumours in emphatic fashion. Speaking at the time, she slammed those who had made the claims and pointed out she had spent the last month caring for her son, Tadija, who was in hospital.
She fumed: “We’ve survived worse, believe me. Thanks to all the journalists who ignored me and didn’t publish anything about Tadija’s health condition, and the other people who think it’s best to attack a wounded lion got a little carried away, because the pack is defending it!”
