Juventus Goalkeeping Dilemma: Mattia Perin's Future in Question

Juventus are walking a tightrope with their goalkeepers this summer, and Mattia Perin sits right at the centre of it.

According to tuttomercatoweb, Palermo’s interest in the Juventus No. 2 remains alive, but what looked like a straightforward deal has become tangled in recent days. Talks are ongoing, but the move is no longer the formality it once seemed.

Inside the club, nobody is rushing to sign off Perin’s exit. The Juventus hierarchy are dissecting every angle before allowing a trusted deputy to walk out of Turin. Losing experience between the posts is one thing; doing it without a clear replacement is quite another.

Contingency Plan

So the contingency plan is already drawn up.

If Perin does leave, Juan Musso has emerged as the preferred name to step in as the new backup. The Argentine sits ahead of Emil Audero, who represents an alternative but not the first choice on the current shortlist. Juventus want someone who can slot straight into the squad and maintain the level behind the established No. 1.

The message from the club is clear: if Palermo and Juventus finally unlock an agreement, the Bianconeri intend to move fast. They do not want to be caught scrambling late in the window, especially in such a specialist position.

Other Goalkeepers

Perin is not the only goalkeeper under scrutiny.

Michele Di Gregorio’s situation is also being monitored carefully. He remains on the market as a possible departure, yet no concrete offers have landed on the table so far. For now, his future is an open file rather than an active negotiation.

All of this underlines just how intricate Juventus’ summer planning has become. Balancing the goalkeeping department is not a secondary detail; it is one of the technical staff’s key priorities before the window shuts. One exit could trigger a chain reaction, and the club know it.

Attention now rests on the next round of talks with Palermo. The current stumbling blocks must be cleared if the Perin deal is to regain momentum and move towards completion.

Until that happens, the coaching staff work on as normal, preparing for upcoming fixtures with the full goalkeeping group still present at Continassa. The squad trains intact, but everyone knows one decision could reshape the depth chart overnight.
