Juventus Ponder Summer Overhaul of Their Goalkeepers | OneFootball

Juventus have so far rebuffed Genoa’s attempts to bring back Mattia Perin, as they don’t want to spend for a replacement mid-season, and are content with Michele Di Gregorio in general. However, the role will be in flux. All three goalies could potentially leave at the end of the season, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.

The Bianconeri signed the former Monza star primarily for his prowess in handling the ball, which suited Thiago Motta’s project. Considering they spent about €13M two years ago, it wouldn’t be tough to turn a profit on him. He has some fans in England. The Old Lady wouldn’t think twice about it if they had the chance to replace him with a world-class shot-stopper.

In that sense, Juventus are after Mike Maignan, who could leave for free, but Milan are trying to change his mind, and Guglielmo Vicario, whose future at Tottenham isn’t so certain. He’s also on Inter’s shortlist. Instead, the ship has sailed on Gianluigi Donnarumma following his move to Manchester City.

If it doesn’t happen in January, Perin will likely join Genoa, which offered him a longer contract, in the summer, while Carlo Pinsoglio is mulling retirement. The Bianconeri could consider Nicola Leali, who has been proposed through a swap, but more as a third-stringer.

Instead, they are keeping tabs on several Serie A options, Lazio’s Christos Mandas and Ivan Provedel, Verona’s Lorenzo Montipò, Lecce’s Wladimiro Falcone, Bologna’s Federico Ravaglia, and Cremonese’s Emil Audero, for the deputy role.

Our Take on the Juventus Goalies

Di Gregorio has been good but not great, but, unless Maignan falls into their lap, bringing in elite specialists is an expensive business, and their roster has many more glaring defects to address.
