22-year-old goalkeeper Pedro Morisco is drawing attention for his performances in Brazil. Standing at 191 cm, the shot-stopper is noted for his explosive nature and proficiency with the ball at his feet, averaging 20-25 progressive passes per match in the Brazilian league. Back home, he is already considered the heir to Alisson, edging out competition from Corinthians' Hugo Souza.

Carlo Ancelotti has already shown interest, having called him up and started him in a 4-0 friendly win over India, where the keeper made several impressive saves. These displays have kept him on the radar of European clubs looking for fresh talent.

His contract with Coritiba runs until December 2027, and a deal is estimated to cost between 5 and 8 million euros. For Juventus, signing him would be a calculated gamble as the club needs to add two goalkeepers to their squad, given the situations involving Neto and Pinsoglio.

Due to restrictions imposed by their Settlement Agreement, the club is cautious about major spending on goalkeepers. While they are evaluating other options like Palmisani, Morisco has emerged as a viable contender to bolster their ranks without breaking the bank.
