Juventus are preparing a major overhaul of their goalkeeping department for next summer, a plan that is set to reshape the group currently working at Continassa and drive early moves in the transfer market.
Rebuild plan and Vicario’s status
Juventus are planning a goalkeeping rebuild next summer. According to Tuttosport, Guglielmo Vicario will stay as Juventus’ No 1 goalkeeper. Tuttosport also reports that three of Juventus’ four goalkeepers could leave the Continassa at the end of the season.
Management move early in the market
Juventus CEO Giovanni Carnevali and chief football officer Frederic Massara have started looking at the market early to build a strong pairing behind Guglielmo Vicario. Juventus are also looking abroad for goalkeepers.
Future of current goalkeepers
Kamil Grabara will return to Wolfsburg after rupturing his cruciate ligament in September, so Juventus will not trigger their €11.5m option to buy him. Neto, who was signed as emergency cover, is expected to leave Juventus. Carlo Pinsoglio turns 37 in March and another renewal of his contract looks unlikely.
Palmisani at the top of the shortlist
Tuttosport states that Frosinone’s Lorenzo Palmisani is top of Juventus’ list for their planned goalkeeping rebuild. Lorenzo Palmisani signed a new contract with Frosinone until 2031 in September. Lorenzo Palmisani was already linked with Juventus in the summer.
One option for Juventus is to agree a deal for Lorenzo Palmisani in January but leave him in Ciociaria until the end of the season, the same approach Juventus took with Federico Gatti, who also came from Frosinone.
Overseas targets under consideration
Coritiba’s Pedro Morisco has broken into the Brazil squad under Carlo Ancelotti. Krasnodar No 1 Stanislav Agkatsev is being closely monitored by Juventus.
