Juventus reportedly have an agreement in principle to sign Michele Di Gregorio to bargain contract

Juventus have been pushing to sign Monza star goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio this summer, with the long-term view of replacing both Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia Perin. Szczesny and Perin are two of the best goalkeepers in Serie A, but both men are on expiring contracts in 2025. Furthermore, Di Gregorio has outplayed both in the 2023/24 league campaign, with only Inter Milan star Yann Sommer boasting a higher save percentage in the Italian top flight. According to a report from Nicolo Schira, Juventus have reached an agreement in principle to sign Michele Di Gregorio from Monza this summer. Schira says the agreement is between the player for a contract worth two million euros per season and bonuses. The contract would keep Di Gregorio with Juventus through 2028/29, meaning the club...

Juventus want to sign another serious talent from Monza

Juventus are slogging through yet another disappointing Serie A campaign with Juventni anxiously awaiting word of a replacement for Max Allegri. In addition to upgrading their manager, Juventus need to upgrade their squad. Frustratingly for fans, Juve are poised to sell some top young talents currently on loan, Matias Soule and Dean Huijsen, but they may bring in established quality players to the fold. With Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia Perin on expiring contracts, Juventus have shown interest in Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio, who has the second-best save percentage in Serie A behind Inter Milan star Yann Sommer. Per a report from Tuttosport, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli and Monza CEO Adriano Galliani also discussed the possibility of attacking midfielder A...

Juventus learn the transfer fee for Serie A’s second-best goalkeeper

Juventus do not necessarily need a new goalkeeper, but with the contracts of top Serie A keepers Wojciech Szczesny and Mattia Perin set to expire in 2025, the Bianconeri could cash in on one of them and sign someone as a replacement - or even upgrade. Szczesny and Perin have been two of the best in Serie A for years now, so signing someone who could conceivably be an upgrade on them isn't easy. However, Juventus may have found the right man. According to a report from Nicolo Schira, Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli recently met with Monza CEO Adriano Galliani, because the Bianconeri are "really interested" in signing goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio. Per Schira, Monza would like to receive 20 million euros in exchange for the 26-year-old, but Juventus could potentially ...

Top insider indicates Juventus are a lock to hire Thiago Motta

Juventus fans have been watching intently for months, hoping for word that the club will move on from Max Allegri, who has done nothing but disappoint in his second stint as manager. It seems as though Juventus have taken a step back after gambling on Andrea Pirlo, swiftly firing the Italian footballing legend in order to go back to a manager who seems bereft of ideas and has actively held back key players, including top talent Federico Chiesa. Now, Juve are scrambling with Chiesa even contemplating a move to rivals Roma to join with Paulo Dybala. The good news for Juventini is that as the summer 2024 transfer window draws nearer and the club falls further behind confirmed Serie A champions Inter Milan, the less likely it seems for Allegri to stay. In fact, top Italian footballing...

Transfer Rumors: Why Roma could sign Federico Chiesa in summer 2024 window

Federico Chiesa is one of the most talented footballers in Italy, but the Juventus winger could push himself out of the club after being phased out of his favored role under highly defensive manager Max Allegri. Speculation regarding Chiesa's future with Juventus has run rampant throughout the 2023/24 season, with Juve's early season run of form and battle with Inter Milan for the Scudetto fading. Roma could be there to take advantage. They already signed one of the best players in Serie A from Juventus for free, reaching the Europa League Final in 2023 thanks to the heroics of a certain "jewel" named Paulo Dybala. Now, according to Calciomercato.com's Daniele Longo, Roma have concrete interest in Federico Chiesa, and it is Roma legend and current manager Daniele De Rossi who is p...

Real Madrid? Juventus? The 5 best transfer destinations for Man United’s Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho's future at Manchester United seems to be over. His feud with manager Erik ten Hag has become a distraction, and it has gotten to the point where it is a bit ridiculous. Since joining United from Borussia Dortmund in a transfer worth 85 million euros, Sancho has been a disappointment. The flashes of brilliance have been few and far between, with inconsistency being the hallmark of his tenure in Manchester thus far. Despite all he accomplished in the Bundesliga as a legitimately world-class player for BVB, he has built no goodwill to fall back on in Manchester, so his feud with ten Hag is one-sided despite the pressure on the latter. Sancho has a lot to prove. He benefited from open spaces and Dortmund's playing style under Lucien Favre. There is a ton of quality in th...
