Juventus Goalkeeper Situation: Perin at the Center of Transfer Talks
Juventus are walking a tightrope with their goalkeepers this summer, and Mattia Perin sits right at the centre of it.
According to tuttomercatoweb, Palermo’s interest in the experienced Juventus No. 2 remains alive, but what looked like a straightforward deal has become tangled over the past few days. Talks are ongoing, yet the move is no longer as simple as it first appeared.
Inside Continassa, nobody is rushing. The Juventus hierarchy are dissecting every scenario before giving the green light to any exit. Letting Perin go without a clear replacement is not on the table.
Shortlist for Replacement
And that is where the shortlist comes in.
Juan Musso is currently the preferred option to inherit the backup role if Perin leaves. The Argentine sits ahead of Emil Audero in the internal rankings, with Juventus viewing him as the leading candidate to step into the squad. Audero remains an option, but Musso is the name at the top of the page.
The logic is clear: if Palermo and Juventus finally unlock the deal for Perin, the Bianconeri want to move instantly. No scramble, no last‑minute panic. Plans are in place so the club are not exposed if negotiations suddenly accelerate.
This is not the only file on the goalkeeping desk.
Juventus are also keeping a close eye on the situation of Michele Di Gregorio. He is still considered a possible outgoing player, yet, up to now, no concrete offer has landed. His future is open, but without formal proposals, it remains only a possibility rather than an active negotiation.
All of this underlines how intricate Juventus’ summer planning has become. Balancing the goalkeeping department is a priority piece of their wider transfer puzzle, and the club want that section solved before the window shuts.
The next few days will be decisive. Juventus and Palermo must find a way around the current stumbling blocks if Perin’s transfer is to move back onto the right track.
Until that happens, the coaching staff work on as normal, preparing for the new campaign with the full goalkeeping group still in place. Perin trains, Di Gregorio waits, Musso and Audero watch from afar — and Juventus hold their nerve while the market clock keeps ticking.
