Juventus draft shortlist as goalkeeper Perin pushes for Genoa switch | OneFootball

Mattia Perin’s future at Juventus is increasingly uncertain as the goalkeeper pushes for a return to Genoa in search of regular playing time.

While the 33-year-old remains a respected figure inside the Juventus dressing room, his role behind Michele Di Gregorio has limited his minutes, prompting him to explore an exit in the January window.

Genoa have emerged as his preferred destination, with Daniele De Rossi identifying Perin as his first-choice reinforcement between the posts.

Talks with Genoa underway as Juventus identify shortlist

Juventus are aware of the situation and, despite previously hoping to keep the former Italy international, have accepted his stance.

Discussions with Genoa are already underway, although the Bianconeri are not looking solely at reducing their wage bill.

The club also want a transfer fee as part of any agreement, according to Tuttosport, via TuttoMercatoWeb.

With Perin potentially on the move, Juventus have begun assessing alternative options to bolster their goalkeeping department. Several names are under consideration, including Livakovic, Mandas and Leali, as the club draw up a shortlist to cover a possible departure.
