Assessing Michele Di Gregorio’s struggles at Juventus | OneFootball

Michele Di Gregorio’s situation at Juventus has reached a breaking point, as the goalkeeper has become a primary liability for Luciano Spalletti’s side. The former Monza man is enduring a nightmare campaign where his lack of reliability is actively undermining the club’s defensive foundations.

The statistics are damning: his individual errors have cost the Bianconeri nine points in the league standings so far this season. These are not merely subjective lapses but happen to be definitive failures that have directly impacted results. His season has been marked by high-profile blunders in several key fixtures, and the crisis reached a new low today against Como. Another significant error in that match proved decisive, further highlighting his inability to handle the pressure of the Juventus goal.

He was also at fault against Galatasaray and Inter, with uncertainty growing about his future.

Given this sustained lack of form and the tangible damage done to the club’s pursuit of their objectives, it has become clear that Di Gregorio needs replacing.

With the Champions League race heating up, Juventus can no longer afford to carry a starter who consistently gifts goals to the opposition. Finding a reliable successor has moved from a long-term plan to an immediate necessity for the Bianconeri management.
