The summer transfer window is heating up, and the goalkeeping carousel has taken a sudden turn in Turin. Juventus have officially informed Genoa of their decision to keep Mattia Perin at the Allianz Stadium, effectively shutting the door on a return to his former club.
Juve Say No to Genoa’s Bid
Despite a formal proposal from the Grifone, Juventus management and manager Thiago Motta have decided that Perin remains a vital component of the squad.
While Perin has largely served as the deputy to Wojciech Szczęsny (and now faces competition from new arrival Michele Di Gregorio), his leadership, locker-room presence, and proven reliability when called upon make him “untouchable” for the upcoming campaign.
Reports suggest that Juve rejected Genoa’s final offer earlier today, signaling that they are not interested in weakening their depth between the sticks, even for a respectable fee.
Genoa Scans the Market
For Genoa, the news is a significant blow. The club had been optimistic about bringing back their former captain to lead the backline. However, with the Perin trail now cold, the recruitment team has been forced to immediately pivot.
Genoa are now exploring several new options to fill the GK role, with sources indicating they are looking extensively at talent from abroad.
The goal is to find a profile that matches Perin’s experience but fits within the club’s current wage structure.
