Overview
- Palermo and Juventus issued official confirmations that Mattia Perin has signed permanently for Palermo in a deal reported to be just under €500,000 with a multi‑year contract said to run until the summer of 2029.
- Palermo’s statement welcomed Perin and referenced support from the City Football Group and club president Dario Mirri, describing the signing as the acquisition of his sporting rights on a long‑term basis.
- The transfer completes Juventus’s summer overhaul of its goalkeeping department after the club brought in Guglielmo Vicario and Kamil Grabara on loan and agreed Michele Di Gregorio’s loan move to Bournemouth.
- Perin leaves Turin after eight years with Juventus, during which he made about 70 appearances across competitions and publicly posted an emotional Instagram farewell reflecting on his role as a steady squad presence.
- Sporting consequences include Palermo adding an experienced goalkeeper who is expected to vie for regular starts as the club targets promotion, while Juventus reduces veteran depth as part of a wage‑control strategy.
