Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio is attracting interest from Newcastle United, according to reports in Italy. Initial contacts have been made through an intermediary to explore a potential move during the summer transfer window.
Di Gregorio currently has a contract with Juventus until 2029, earning an annual salary of €2.7 million. He has become a key player for the Turin club, and has recently expressed his desire to remain with the team, even willing to compete for the starting position should Juventus bring in another goalkeeper. Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri has consistently supported and encouraged Di Gregorio throughout the season.
Newcastle are reportedly in the market for a new goalkeeper and have identified Di Gregorio as a potential target. The Magpies are seeking to strengthen their squad ahead of next season, and the Italian shot-stopper has emerged as a viable option. The club, managed by Eddie Howe, are said to have begun a preliminary assessment of the player’s availability.
Juventus are believed to be seeking a fee of at least €15 million for Di Gregorio. This figure is considered affordable for Newcastle, increasing the likelihood of a formal offer should the Premier League club firm up their interest. The potential sale of Di Gregorio could provide Juventus with funds to invest in other areas of the squad as they aim to challenge for the Serie A title after a six-year absence from contention. Juventus currently sit in a battle for a Champions League spot, with upcoming matches against Lecce, Fiorentina, and Torino proving crucial to securing a top-four finish and the associated financial benefits.
Despite the interest from Newcastle, Di Gregorio appears determined to stay at Juventus and fight for his place in the team. The coming weeks are expected to provide further clarity on his future, as both clubs assess their options and the player considers his career path.
