Report Perin on verge of Palermo move, can help Juventus sign Kessie | OneFootball

Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin is reportedly on the verge of joining Serie B side Palermo, which in turn could raise funds for free agent Franck Kessie.

The Bianconeri are completely overhauling their roster of goalkeepers this summer, with Michele Di Gregorio close to a return to his old club Monza after the arrival of Guglielmo Vicario on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

Now La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Perin is down to the details for a transfer down to Serie B with Palermo.

The 33-year-old is only under contract with Juve until the end of this season, so it is their last chance to generate a sale from the ex-Genoa man.

Palermo are offering a two-year contract with automatic extension for a third in case of Serie A football.

In turn, it’s suggested that the Bianconeri would use the cash from Perin’s sale to fund the salary of midfielder Kessie.

He is a free agent at age 29 after a spell with Al-Ahli, but certainly no stranger to Serie A, having played for Atalanta and Milan until 2022.
