Juventus is closing in on a €20 million new goalkeeper

 

 

Juventus is closing in on a move for Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio as they look to sign a long-term replacement for Wojciech Szczęsny.

 

Their number one is still a solid goalkeeper, but he is already 34, and Juve has deliberately lowered the average age of their squad over the last few transfer windows.

 

They believe Di Gregorio is the goalie their team needs in the long term, and they have been in talks with Monza about signing him.

 

The discussions are making good progress in a deal that could eventually cost the Bianconeri around 20m euros. ............

Juventus finalizing Di Gregorio move, awaiting offers for Szczesny & Perin

 

 

Juventus are reportedly working on the final details before announcing the transfer of Michele Di Gregorio, while the futures of Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia Perin remain shrouded in mystery.

 

The Bianconeri have an agreement in principle with both Monza and the player’s entourage.

 

The 26-year-old already bid the Biancorossi fans farewell at the end of the season, which ironically occurred at the Allianz Stadium. .............

 

Moreover, the two clubs have reached an accord over a transfer fee worth 20 million euros, but the formula of the operation has yet to be decided.

 

Obviously, Di Gregorio’s arrival would force at least one between Szczesny and Perin out of Turin. .............

 

 

It primarily depends on the offers that the club will receive.

 

Perin reportedly has several admirers in Serie A, including Monza and the recently-promoted Parma. Moreover, the report doesn’t rule out another return to Genoa.

 

On the other hand, Szczesny is one of the highest earners at Juventus, with a salary that can scare away any possible suitors in Italy.

 

The Poland international could have admirers in the Premier League, while the Old Lady would be willing to keep him if he agrees to spread his wages over additional years. .............

Di Marzio: Juventus all set to announce their first signing of the summer

 

 

Juventus are reportedly on the cusp of announcing Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio as their first signing of the summer.

 

The 26-year-old has now cemented himself as one of the finest goalkeepers in the country, even though he missed out on a spot in Luciano Spalletti’s Italy squad for Euro 2024.

 

The Inter youth product was even named the Serie A Goalkeeper of the Season following a brilliant campaign at the U-Power Stadium. ............

 

According to Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus and Monza have already reached a full agreement. The operation will cost the Old Lady 20 million euros. ............

 

Therefore, Di Gregorio will become the first Juventus signing for the summer.

 

His arrival should spell the end of either Szczesny or Mattia Perin’s time at Continassa. But this could depend on the offers that the club will receive for the two custodians.

 

Both goalkeepers are currently running on contracts expiring in June 2025.

Thiago Motta has already decided who will be Juventus number one

 

 

Juventus will have a new number one in goal next season after Thiago Motta made his choice before being confirmed as the club’s manager. ...........

 

Juve is already working on several profiles and has an agreement in place to sign Michele Di Gregorio from Monza.

 

Although Wojciech Szczęsny remains a good goalkeeper, the incoming Bianconeri coach prefers Di Gregorio because of his technical skills.

 

These skills suit his style of play, and Juve could now offload Mattia Perin and their current first-choice keeper. ............

Why Juventus has still not confirmed the transfer of Di Gregorio

 

 

Michele Di Gregorio has been tipped to become the next Juventus number one, and reports suggest he has already agreed to a deal with the Bianconeri.

 

However, the goalkeeper has yet to sign his Juventus contract, and their fans are eager for that to happen soon.

 

Juve expects him to join on an initial loan deal for €4 million, with an obligation to sign him permanently for €16 million. .............

 

But why has he not officially signed for the Old Lady yet? The only missing piece of the agreement is the player’s signature.

 

However, they also assure that it will happen soon, as all other agreements have already been sealed. .............

Liverpool fails in attempt to hijack Juventus transfer despite offering more money

 

 

Juventus have finalised an agreement to acquire Michele di Gregorio from Monza this summer, despite Liverpool’s attempt to hijack the deal for his signature.

 

The goalkeeper has established himself as one of Serie A’s top performers in recent seasons, catching the eye of Juventus. .............

 

Monza and Juventus have already agreed on terms for di Gregorio’s transfer: an initial loan deal valued at 4 million euros, with an obligation to purchase him outright for 16 million euros.

 

However, Liverpool made a bid of 25 million euros to lure him away from Monza. Despite the tempting offer, Monza declined, affirming their commitment to their existing agreement with Juventus and showing no intention to reconsider. .............

Di Gregorio’s agent reveals how highly Giuntoli thinks of the goalkeeper

 

 

Michele Di Gregorio is officially Juventus’ newest first-choice goalkeeper, and the Bianconeri are delighted to have signed him. ............

 

The goalkeeper is now set to begin the season as their first choice, and it seems Cristiano Giuntoli has admired him for a long time. ............

 

The Bianconeri are now working to strengthen other parts of their squad, and Di Gregorio’s agent, Carlo Alberto Belloni, has spoken about the talks between them and Giuntoli. ............

 

“The director wanted him strongly. He told him several times that he saw Angelo Peruzzi in him. I’ll tell you something… When we were negotiating the move to Juve, Giuntoli told DiGre several times that winning teams are built by strong goalkeepers and he wanted to have the best in Serie A for his team: Di Gregorio, precisely.” ............

Tacconi lauds Di Gregorio & Bremer: “An animal that pounces on his prey”

 

 

Legendary Juventus goalkeeper Stefano Tacconi applauded Michele Di Gregorio and Gleison Bremer for their displays against Napoli.

 

The 67-year-old made his long-awaited return to the Allianz Stadium on Saturday following a long health ordeal. ............

 

Tacconi was full of praise for his successor Di Gregorio who showed his competence on a couple of occasions during the encounter to earn his fourth clean sheet in as many league appearances for the club.

 

“He had excellent reflexes, a great reaction,” said Tacconi in his interview.

 

“I would say that he started his adventure in black and white excellently. These big saves are like scoring a goal, they transmit confidence. ............

 

The former Italy international also hailed Gleison Bremer who had the upper hand in his physical duel against Romelu Lukaku.

 

“It’s crazy how good he is. It’s like watching an animal for the way he pounces on the opponent, almost as if he were his prey. ............

Agent confirms Juventus keeper snubbed Liverpool in the summer

 

 

Carlo Alberto Belloni, agent of Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio, confirms the Italian snubbed a move to Liverpool to join the Old Lady last summer. ............

 

He played a key role in the Bianconeri’s 2-0 win over Manchester City on Wednesday, producing two fantastic saves on Erling Haaland and Ilkay Gundogan.

 

“Surely, Manchester City fans will remember his saves for a long time,” the goalkeeper’s agent said.

 

“We said no to Liverpool in the summer to join the Juventus project.

 

“He’s working hard to improve continuously,” continued Belloni.

 

“He set up a gym at home so he can train on his days off. He has an incredible mentality, and his desire is to be part of a Juventus side that rewrites history and wins important trophies.”

 

Di Gregorio, 27, has kept nine clean sheets in 15 appearances across all competitions with Juventus this season, conceding just ten goals. ............

Di Gregorio admits Juventus has to play to win every game

 

 

Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio has spoken out following their emphatic 4-0 victory over Cagliari, a performance that showcased the team’s potential. The Bianconeri turned in one of their most complete displays of the season, a welcome response to the inconsistency that has plagued much of their campaign. While Juve’s fans will hope this victory serves as the foundation for a stronger run of form, similar hopes were expressed after their notable Champions League win against Manchester City—only for inconsistency to resurface. ............

 

“For me, it’s a special match,” Di Gregorio remarked. “We will work in these days to prepare for Sunday’s match in the best way. We are Juve, and we have to play every match to give our best and to win. We are a young group, and we are facing a path in the right way even if we haven’t managed to find the continuity we want yet.” ............

Man City plotting move for Juventus summer signing who bewitched Guardiola

 

 

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was reportedly left dazzled by Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio when the two sides clashed heads earlier this month. ............

 

The former Monza goalkeeper was robust between the posts, pulling off several astonishing saves, including a brilliant reaction stop on Erling Haaland’s glorious one-on-one opportunity. The Norwegian giant tried to dink it over the Italian, but the latter somehow managed to deny it with an outstretched hand.

 

The 27-year-old’s stunning show between the posts earned him the admiration of Guardiola who now considers him the right profile to bolster his less-than-perfect goalkeeping department. ............

 

Therefore, the Cityzens are reportedly keen to bring in a new custodian sooner rather than later, and Di Gregorio has now landed on their shortlist. ............

 

Di Gregorio’s contract with the Bianconeri is valid until June 2029, and the source insists it would take an irresistible offer to convince the Serie A giants to part ways with their summer signing.

Has Di Gregorio justified the decision to part with Szczesny?

 

 

While Michele Di Gregorio was at home alongside his Juventus teammates last night, Wojciech Szczęsny delivered a goalkeeping masterclass for Barcelona against Benfica in the Champions League. ............

 

In his place, Juventus brought in Di Gregorio as their new first-choice goalkeeper, a move that took some fans by surprise. Given Szczęsny’s consistent performances, many believed he still had a few more years at the top level. However, the club opted for a fresh start with the Italian shot-stopper.

 

Juventus has endured a difficult season, struggling to maintain consistency, but Di Gregorio has generally performed well. ............

 

Juventus must now move forward and allow Di Gregorio the time and support he needs to develop into a key figure for the team. The former Monza goalkeeper was regarded as the best shot-stopper in Italy before his move to Juventus, and with the right backing, he has the potential to reach Szczęsny’s level. If he continues to receive game time and builds his confidence, he could establish himself as a hero for the club in the years to come. ............

Di Gregorio set to stay at Juventus as Man City turn to another goalkeeper

 

 

Juventus are reportedly set to maintain the services of their goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio who has been recently linked with a move to Manchester City. ............

 

Di Gregorio arrived at Juventus on loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the season. The operation should cost the club circa 20 million euros.

 

Nevertheless, some sources claimed the Old Lady could make a swift windfall by selling the Italian to Man City. ............

 

But the Premier League giants aren’t targetting Di Gregorio, as they have another name in mind.

 

Man City are keen to sign Diogo Costa, a 25-year-old goalkeeper who has been a regular for both Porto and the national team. ............

 

Although Mattia Perin has been making recurring appearances, Di Gregorio has been the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper at Juventus, whether during the tumultuous reign of Thiago Motta, or under Igor Tudor.

Buffon praises Di Gregorio for how his first Juventus season went 

 

 

Gigi Buffon understands better than most what it takes to be a top goalkeeper at Juventus, having spent more than a decade as the club’s number one. His opinion carries weight, especially when it comes to assessing the talent of those who follow in his footsteps. ............

 

It has not been a smooth campaign for Juventus, which has faced several managerial changes and periods of inconsistent form. Despite the instability, Di Gregorio has done well in his first season at one of Europe’s most demanding clubs. ............

 

Buffon recently spoke about the young goalkeeper’s performances and was full of praise. He said:

 

“I see him very well. It wasn’t easy to take over from someone like Szczesny, especially for someone in his first season at a big club. And I especially like how he behaves in difficult moments: there are those who sink, he holds his ground.”

 

Those words carry significance, particularly coming from a legend like Buffon. ............

Key Juventus star rejects a move to Manchester City

 

Juventus have received a significant boost this summer, and it is not related to the acquisition of a new player. While the transfer window is now in full swing, with clubs across Europe working to reinforce their squads, the Bianconeri have been buoyed by news concerning one of their key existing talents. ............

 

In this context, Juventus have been handed a major advantage. One of their most vital players, Michele Di Gregorio, has reportedly rejected a move to the Premier League. Manchester City made an approach for the talented goalkeeper as they look for a replacement for Ederson, who appears to be nearing a departure from the English champions.

 

However, Di Gregorio opted to turn down the opportunity to join City. The Premier League side had identified him as a strong candidate to step into Ederson’s role, but the Italian goalkeeper has chosen to remain with Juventus, a decision that underlines his commitment to the club. ............

 

Di Gregorio is considered one of the club’s most reliable performers, and his decision to stay ensures continuity and quality in a crucial position. At a time when speculation around high-profile moves dominates headlines, securing the loyalty of a top player provides both reassurance and stability as the club prepares for the new season. ............
