Juventus have added a new goalie to the list of priorities, as Michele Di Gregorio has had more than a few gaffes in recent tilts. He was signed from Monza for €18M in 2024, fresh off being named the top shot-stopper in Serie A. After a solid first campaign, he has nosedived in the ongoing one and hasn’t grown as much as the team, which is used to having elite options there, hoped he would.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bianconeri will try to challenge Inter for Guglielmo Vicario, but their rivals have ahead. The deal would cost about €25/30M. He makes €4.5M annually, which is within their parameters.
If their top target fell through, Juventus could move for Marco Carnesecchi to replace Di Gregorio. He’s younger than the Tottenham star, but he’s also more expensive. Other Serie A sides have had trouble buying from Atalanta in recent windows.
Per La Stampa, the Old Lady also has Cagliari’s Elia Caprile, Toulouse’s Guillame Restes, who has ties with their CEO Damian Comolli, and David de Gea in their crosshairs, should they decide to go with a veteran in the last case.
Our Take on Juventus and Di Gregorio
The best-case scenario would be their starter bouncing back. He has proven he can hang, but he’s been overwhelmed by his personal and the team’s defensive crisis. Top-notch goalies are highly expensive. Rolling the dice with a starlet, as talented as he may be coming in, would be a risky proposition given the role and their storied tradition at the position. Vicario seems headed to Inter. Carnesecchi would be the best choice of the lot, but they’d have to splurge and convince Atalanta to get him.
