Juventus to Continue to Dabble in Goalkeepers’ Market | OneFootball

Despite signing two goalies last summer, Juventus could soon put another one under contract, as Kamil Grabara suffered an ACL tear in training and will miss most of the season. The Bianconeri are evaluating Norberto Neto, who has spent time at the club before, and Sergio Rico.

The Old Lady will decide in the coming days whether to trust Carlo Pinsoglio and youngster Riccardo Radu until January. Instead, they have earmarked a pair of names for the future, TuttoSport informs.

Juventus are committed to Guglielmo Vicario for just one season. His performances, which have been solid so far, will dictate whether they’ll pick up an €8M option. However, they could go younger and have shortlisted Lorenzo Palmisani and Marco Carnesecchi.

The former is coming off an incredible performance against Como. The Bianconeri could move early, acquiring him in January and letting him finish the season on loan at Frosinone. Instead, the Atalanta specialist has been on their radar for a while. However, La Dea would have maybe considered selling him for over €50M in the summer. At 26, he could jump to a top team next summer. Inter are also on his trail, given Josep Martinez’ uneven performances.

Our Take on Juventus Eyeing More Goalies

It’s that kind of year if even the backup gets seriously hurt. Vicario has been perfectly serviceable so far, and he’s cost-effective. He could even transition to a mentor role down the line. It’s surely a good time to jump on the Palmisani bandwagon, but youngsters have to be undeniable before joining to have a shot at bearing the pressure. Carnesecchi is surely ready, but also super expensive, so he would basically have to be their lone splurge.
