Overview
- Juventus stepped up its search for a reliable starter after Michele Di Gregorio’s high-profile mistakes in the friendly against Inter in Perth increased pressure on the squad.
- Paris Saint-Germain is reported to be close to buying Zion Suzuki from Parma for about €33–35 million, a transfer that could allow PSG to loan Suzuki to Juventus but has not been finalized.
- Juventus is exploring alternatives to Suzuki, with Guglielmo Vicario of Tottenham and Anatoliy Trubin of Benfica described as credible targets, and the club is leaning toward loan-friendly solutions because of recent heavy spending on forwards.
- Di Gregorio carries a reported minimum valuation near €10 million that complicates a permanent exit, and coach Luciano Spalletti wants a goalkeeper comfortable building play from the back, which shapes Juventus’s priorities.
- Several other moves, including the pursuit of Joshua Zirkzee and Juan Camilo Lucumí, are being delayed until the goalkeeper issue is resolved and the open transfer window means negotiations could still change quickly.
