Juventus Preparing for Major Changes to Goalkeeping Department

Italian club Juventus have begun a major overhaul of their goalkeeping department during the summer transfer window. Expected changes to the squad are set to affect not only the first-choice goalkeeper but also the backups. This will play an important role in the Turin club’s squad planning for next season. Goal.com reports .

According to information published by Goal.com, an agreement has been reached to sign Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, making Di Gregorio’s departure from the club inevitable. The report also notes that names such as Alisson and Emiliano Martínez were considered on the transfer market, while loan options with Paris Saint-Germain did not materialize.

Mattia Perin’s Departure and Search for a Backup Goalkeeper

Mattia Perin, who wants regular first-team football, is negotiating with Palermo. The experienced goalkeeper, who has been aiming to become a starter for the past two years, is reportedly even ready to drop to Serie B. His agent, Alessandro Lucci, is working actively on the transfer.

If Perin leaves, Juventus will have to find a new backup goalkeeper to serve as Vicario’s understudy. Pinsoglio’s stay as the team’s third-choice goalkeeper has been confirmed. The management is carefully studying several candidates for the position.

Main Candidates and the Transfer Market

Emil Audero is also among the main candidates attracting the club’s attention. After his loan spell at Cremonese, Audero is leaving Como. Since he was once a Juventus academy graduate, he could prove useful in shaping the squad. In addition, Juan Musso, who currently plays for Atlético de Madrid, remains an option, although Napoli are also interested in him.

According to Sky Sport, the Turin club had also been monitoring Mandas, who returned from a loan spell at Lazio, but the Roman club do not intend to sell the young goalkeeper. Juventus have also turned their attention to the Argentine market and reportedly gathered information on Santiago Beltrán, a River Plate academy graduate born in 2004.
