Official: Juventus completes move for Kamil Grabara | OneFootball

Kamil Grabara has officially joined Juventus as the Bianconeri strengthen their squad with a second goalkeeper in just a few days, with both players joining on loan, as confirmed by the club’s official website.

Goalkeeper has been a problem position for Juventus for some time, and Luciano Spalletti was determined to change that this summer, so he asked the club’s bosses for a new number one.

He had to replace Michele di Gregorio in that position, which happened when Guglielmo Vicario joined on loan from Tottenham and Di Gregorio agreed a move to Bournemouth on a similar arrangement.

Juventus Reshape Goalkeeping Options

Juventus had their new first choice, but Palermo then moved for Mattia Perin and he agreed to join them, forcing the Old Lady back into the market for another goalkeeper.

They have now secured a loan move for Grabara from Wolfsburg following their relegation from the Bundesliga last season, and the Polish goalkeeper will be their second choice.

Grabara Could Challenge Vicario

However, Grabara will have a chance to fight for the number one spot with Vicario as the season continues if he proves to be a better goalkeeper than the Italian over the next few weeks.

Juventus are delighted to have made changes to the position, as it was an area they certainly needed to improve in order to have a good season.

Grabara now has an opportunity to establish himself at one of the biggest clubs in Italy while providing competition for Vicario. His arrival gives Spalletti another option between the posts and ensures Juventus have greater depth in a position that has required significant changes this summer.

The Bianconeri will hope their new goalkeeping options provide greater stability throughout the campaign. Vicario is expected to begin as the first choice, but Grabara’s presence means there will be competition for the position as the season progresses.

With both goalkeepers arriving on loan, Juventus have also given themselves flexibility while addressing a position that has caused concern for some time. The club will now expect the changes to produce better results and help them compete successfully throughout the season.
