Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio is drawing attention from clubs in the English Premier League, according to reports from Tuttosport. The 1997-born shot-stopper is valued by Juventus at approximately €15 million, though the club are also open to a loan deal with an obligation to buy, contingent on certain conditions being met.
Agent Carlo Alberto Belloni was recently spotted in England, representing Di Gregorio, nicknamed ‘L’Uomo Di Gre’, fueling speculation about a potential move to the Premier League. The possibility of a transfer abroad has become more likely as opportunities within Serie A appear limited, with Atalanta being the only potential domestic destination should Marco Carnesecchi depart.
Di Gregorio previously rejected advances from Liverpool two years ago, but his stance is reported to have shifted, and he is now seemingly open to the challenge of playing in what is widely considered the world’s most competitive league. Several clubs in England are reportedly interested, with five to six teams potentially making a move.
One potential avenue explored by agent Arturo Canales involved offering Kepa Arrizabalaga to Juventus, with a possible exchange for Di Gregorio, but Juventus’s management were not particularly interested in the Spanish goalkeeper. Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is reportedly seeking a high-profile replacement for Di Gregorio, with Emiliano Martinez being his primary target.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, could emerge as a potential destination for Di Gregorio, especially after missing out on Leeds United’s Illan Meslier and with competition from Paris Saint-Germain for other targets. Belloni is actively working to secure the best possible outcome for Di Gregorio, who continues to feature in Juventus’s pre-season friendlies alongside Mattia Perin. A move to the Premier League would provide Di Gregorio with a new challenge and a platform to further develop his career.
