Juventus prepare to overhaul entire goalkeeping department
Juventus are planning a goalkeeping rebuild next summer, and Frosinone’s Lorenzo Palmisani is top of their list.
According to Tuttosport, via TuttoMercatoWeb, Guglielmo Vicario will stay as No 1, but three of Juventus’ four goalkeepers could leave the Continassa at the end of the season.
Kamil Grabara will return to Wolfsburg after rupturing his cruciate ligament in September, so Juventus won’t trigger their €11.5m option to buy him. Neto, who was signed as emergency cover, is also expected to leave. Carlo Pinsoglio turns 37 in March, and another renewal looks unlikely.
Juventus goalkeeper targets
CEO Giovanni Carnevali and chief football officer Frederic Massara have started looking at the market early to build a strong pairing behind Vicario.
Palmisani signed a new contract with Frosinone until 2031 in September and was already linked with the Bianconeri in the summer. One option is to agree a deal in January but leave him in Ciociaria until the end of the season, the same approach Juventus took with Federico Gatti, who also came from Frosinone.
The Old Lady are also looking abroad. Coritiba’s Pedro Morisco has broken into the Brazil squad under Carlo Ancelotti, and Krasnodar No 1 Stanislav Agkatsev is also being closely monitored.
