Juventus are closing in on the signing of Italian international goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio from Monza. This move is seen as crucial for the club, as they look to replace Wojciech Szczesny.
Loan with Obligation to Buy
The transfer will be structured as a one-year loan with an obligation to buy Di Gregorio permanently.
The initial loan fee will be €4 million, with Juventus obligated to pay an additional €16 million to secure his permanent transfer, bringing the total cost to €20 million, according to multiple reports.
Wages and Comparisons
Schira also reports that Di Gregorio will earn a salary of €2 million per season, with potential bonuses included.
Salary Sport suggests this is similar to what Timothy Weah earned before bonuses. However, it’s important to be cautious about the accuracy of figures reported on these websites.
Replacing Szczesny
Juventus sees Di Gregorio as the future in goal, with Wojciech Szczesny turning 34. The Polish international is also rumored to be on the verge of a transfer to Al Nassr, leaving a vacancy for a starting goalkeeper. Mattia Perin is now likely to extend his contract and stay at Juventus.
Di Gregorio’s Impressive Season
Di Gregorio had a breakout season at Monza, solidifying his place as a top Serie A goalkeeper.
He was nominated for Serie A goalkeeper of the season after keeping 12 clean sheets, conceding only 35 goals, and saving two out of the three penalties he faced.
This transfer signifies Juventus’ commitment to securing a long-term solution in goal with the promising Michele Di Gregorio.
