Juventus reshapes its goalkeeping unit, adding Kamil Grabara and offloading Perin and Di Gregorio
TURIN, Italy (AP) — Juventus has revamped its goalkeeping lineup, bringing in a new backup and releasing two others. Earlier this month, the Bianconeri secured Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham as their primary goalkeeper following Michele Di Gregorio's costly mistakes last season. Di Gregorio was subsequently loaned out to Bournemouth, with the option to buy him for 12.7 million euros plus potential add-ons.
On Tuesday, Juventus added Polish goalkeeper Kamil Grabara from Wolfsburg on loan, with the right to purchase him permanently for 11.5 million euros. To make room for Grabara, Juventus offloaded Mattia Perin to second-division Palermo on Wednesday. Perin, who had been with Juventus since 2018, made 71 appearances for the club and won multiple Serie A titles, including two in the last campaign.
Despite being primarily a backup to Buffon, Szczęsny, and Di Gregorio, Perin contributed significantly to Juventus's success.
