Juventus wants to hijack Torino’s move for Leeds United star | OneFootball

Lucas Perri has been linked with a move to Torino from Leeds in the last few weeks, and it is a transfer that was expected to be completed before the window closes.

However, with only a few days remaining, Torino have not completed the move, which could become a problem for them because Juventus are now interested in signing the Brazilian.

Juventus are set to lose their first and second choice goalkeepers from last season, as Michele Di Gregorio is heading to Bournemouth while Mattia Perin is moving to Palermo.

Juve have signed Guglielmo Vicario on loan from Tottenham, but they now need more than one goalkeeper, and Calciomercato says they want to sign Perri.

Juventus target Perri

As Torino struggle to add him to their squad, the Bianconeri want to hijack the move in the coming days. The report says they have made contact in an attempt to lure him to their side of Turin.

Perri is a fine goalkeeper, and it would be interesting to see him compete with Vicario for the number one spot at the Allianz Stadium.

Juventus need a new goalkeeper as soon as possible, and they must settle for the best names they can get as the transfer window closes in just a few days.

The situation could now develop quickly, particularly because Torino had appeared to be in a strong position to complete the transfer before Juventus entered the race. The Bianconeri’s interest could therefore create an unexpected problem for their Turin rivals.

Perri could join Juventus

For Perri, a move to Juventus would represent an opportunity to compete for a place at one of the biggest clubs in Italian football. With Vicario already arriving on loan, there would be competition for the starting role, but the Brazilian could still see the move as an attractive opportunity.

Juventus have to strengthen their goalkeeping options before the window closes, and Perri has now emerged as one of the players they are considering.
