Juventus Leaning Toward Adding a Big-Ticket Goalkeeper

Juventus have found more stability between the sticks thanks to Mattia Perin, but he’s not a long-term solution. Their search is expanding to seasoned options who would be able to handle the pressure, TuttoSport reports.

The Bianconeri have made an inquiry about Emiliano Martinez, who stayed put last summer despite asking out. He’s in the hunt for a new challenge after a long stay in Birmingham, and the Old Lady could offer him that. He’s been linked to Inter in recent months, but they seem to prefer younger options.

Juventus and Aston Villa have done a lot of business together lately, which could facilitate the talks for Martinez. He’s under contract until 2029. The counterparty wouldn’t mind keeping Douglas Luiz, but they’d have to pay €25M. The Argentinian goalie could end up being part of a multi-player deal, provided his personal demands aren’t too large. He could ask for a three-year contract with €5M wages.

The Old Lady has been linked to Guglielmo Vicario, but they are prioritizing bigger names, Matteo Moretto reports and Fabrizio Romano reports (via SOSFanta). They aren’t fully sold on the Tottenham goalie. They might be keen on Alisson, but Liverpool recently triggered their option to prolong his deal until 2027. They’d have to negotiate with his club to add him.

Our Take on Juventus Searching For a Goalie

Going with a veteran would solve the issue for just a couple of seasons, but it might do the trick, considering how much stuff they’ll have to do in the summer. In other eras, they’d go out and poach Marco Carnesecchi or Mile Svilar, but they are probably too expensive for them now. Vicario isn’t world-class but would be fine as well.
