Italian football powerhouse Juventus has shared photos of goalkeeper Simone Di Gregorio undergoing his medical examination, signaling the imminent completion of his transfer to the Turin-based club.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Di Gregorio has agreed to a five-year contract with Juventus, worth a reported €4 million per season. The 25-year-old shot-stopper is expected to join the Bianconeri on a permanent transfer from his current club, Hellas Verona, for a fee in the region of €20 million.
Di Gregorio's arrival at Juventus is likely to lead to the departure of current goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, who has been linked to leave the club in the summer.
Szczęsny, a mainstay in the Juventus goal since 2017, is expected to leave the club in search of more playing time, paving the way for Di Gregorio to become the team's new number one goalkeeper.
The signing of Di Gregorio represents a significant coup for Juventus, as the young goalkeeper has already demonstrated his impressive skills and potential in Serie A. His addition to the squad is expected to bolster the team's defensive capabilities, as they seek to reclaim their position at the top of Italian football.
The official announcement of Di Gregorio's transfer is expected in the next few hours, pending the successful completion of all necessary paperwork and formalities.
