Juventus chose Perin’ replacment

With Mattia Perin now increasingly close to completing a move to Palermo, Juventus are preparing to return to the market in search of a new backup goalkeeper.

According to Calciomercato, the Bianconeri have identified Christos Mandas as one of the most interesting options for the position.

The 25-year-old Greek goalkeeper currently plays for Lazio and represents the Greek national team, and Juventus are reportedly keeping a close eye on his situation.

However, Juventus’ decision to make a concrete move for Mandas will depend heavily on what happens with Michele Di Gregorio.

The 29-year-old goalkeeper is also considered a potential outgoing player, with Bournemouth and Lazio among the clubs reportedly interested in securing his services.

Mandas Could Become Juventus’ Priority

Should Di Gregorio leave Turin during the current transfer window, Juventus would be ready to accelerate their pursuit of Mandas.

The Greek goalkeeper could then become a leading candidate to strengthen the squad and provide competition and depth between the posts.

Mandas is currently estimated to have a market value of around €8 million, although Juventus could potentially negotiate a significantly lower transfer fee if Lazio are willing to facilitate his departure.

The situation therefore remains closely linked to Juventus’ goalkeeper plans.

Perin’s expected move to Palermo would already create a vacancy in the squad, while Di Gregorio’s possible exit could make the need for another goalkeeper even more urgent.

For now, Juventus appear to be monitoring the market carefully rather than rushing into a deal. Mandas has emerged as a name to watch, but the next steps will depend on whether Di Gregorio remains in Turin or finds a new club before the transfer window closes.

Calciomercato reports that Juventus’ interest is concrete, with the goalkeeper market in Turin potentially set for further movement in the coming days.
