Juventus has 3 names to replace Di Gregorio

There will not be endless chances to prove his worth. Against Galatasaray, the emotional stakes will be sky-high and the margin for error virtually nonexistent.

Yet those opportunities, however limited, may be enough to show that he is capable of carrying the weight of the Juventus shirt. Enough to silence the narrative that paints him as a scapegoat and instead rediscover what every goalkeeper ultimately relies on: inner strength.

The kind that cannot be borrowed or gifted — only found within. According to Tuttosport, the goalkeeping situation at Juventus remains very much open ahead of next season.

Much will depend on whether the club secures qualification for the UEFA Champions League, a factor that could reshape financial strategies, technical evaluations, and future planning.

The issue between the posts first became delicate last summer, when last-minute market reflections surfaced. The dream target was Gianluigi Donnarumma — an ambition ultimately blocked by economic realities.

At the same time, there were considerations about parting ways with Di Gregorio immediately, while the departure of Mattia Perin seemed almost certain before circumstances shifted.

Strategic Reflections and Market Scenarios

The coming summer promises even deeper reflection. Not necessarily because the former Monza goalkeeper has failed to convince, but because the club may feel the need for a different profile.

He arrived in Turin backed strongly by Thiago Motta and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli. Motta favored a goalkeeper comfortable with the ball at his feet, while Giuntoli saw an opportunity to remove the heavy salary of Wojciech Szczesny and invest in a talent he believed had fully matured.

Adriano Galliani negotiated firmly, eventually securing €18 million after initially asking for 25 — a deal that now forms part of Juventus’ recent history, marked by flashes of high-level performances but also dips that are becoming increasingly frequent.

For coach Luciano Spalletti, this inconsistency has removed a layer of certainty at a time when stability is desperately needed.

From Carnesecchi to De Gea: The Shortlist

Tuttosport outlines several possible alternatives. Marco Carnesecchi is emerging as a serious contender for June, while Guglielmo Vicario could also enter the conversation if contractual situations evolve.

Elia Caprile has been discussed, though doubts remain about whether he would represent a true upgrade.

An experienced option could be David de Gea, expected to leave Fiorentina. While not flawless, he has often proven to be a reliable presence.

Ultimately, Juventus must weigh priorities carefully. Adding a new goalkeeper to an already crowded agenda will only make sense if it clearly elevates the team. Otherwise, the answer may not lie in the market — but in rediscovering certainty within.
