Michele Di Gregorio’s future at Juventus could be heading towards a major turning point, with the goalkeeper now attracting interest from France.
With Guglielmo Vicario arrival in Turin, competition for the starting role is set to become even tougher, potentially leaving Di Gregorio behind both the new signing and Mattia Perin in the pecking order.

According to Italian transfer expert Nicolò Schira, Olympique Marseille have already started discussions with Juventus over a possible move for the former Monza goalkeeper.
The French club are exploring the possibility of signing Di Gregorio on loan until June 2027, giving the Italian an opportunity to restart his career away from Turin.
Schira revealed that negotiations between Marseille and Juventus have already begun, with the two clubs holding two video conferences over the weekend to discuss the potential transfer.
No final agreement has been reached yet, but the talks indicate that Marseille’s interest is serious. The most important development, however, concerns the player himself.
Di Gregorio Already Open to Marseille Move
According to Schira, Di Gregorio has already given his approval to the possibility of joining Marseille. That could prove crucial as the two clubs continue working towards an agreement over the structure of the loan.
The situation has developed rapidly because Juventus has closed on Guglielmo Vicario, who will arrive from Tottenham on an initial loan deal with a potential permanent transfer.

For Di Gregorio, the arrival of another goalkeeper would naturally raise questions about his playing opportunities.
Rather than remaining in Turin without a guaranteed starting position, a move to Marseille could offer him regular football and the chance to rebuild his momentum.
Di Gregorio arrived at Juventus after establishing himself as one of Serie A’s most highly regarded goalkeepers with Monza.
His spell in Turin has not developed as expected, however, and the changing situation between the posts could now lead to a temporary departure.
Marseille, meanwhile, could provide an attractive destination. A loan until June 2027 would give Di Gregorio the opportunity to play consistently at a major European club while Juventus retain control over his longer-term future.
For now, negotiations remain ongoing. Juventus and Marseille still need to find an agreement, but with Di Gregorio reportedly willing to make the move, the French club have an important advantage as discussions continue.

If an agreement is reached, Di Gregorio could soon begin a new chapter in Ligue 1 — just as Juventus prepare for a significant reshuffle of their goalkeeping department.
