Juventus in talks with Neto after Kamil Grabara injury
Following a season-ending knee injury to Kamil Grabara, Juventus are targeting an experienced replacement, with Neto emerging as the primary option.
Juventus are scrambling to secure an experienced goalkeeper following a devastating injury to Kamil Grabara. The goalkeeper sustained a lesion of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a training session, with medical examinations at J|medical confirming the severity of the issue. The injury has ruled him out for the remainder of the season.
The club hierarchy recognizes that they cannot rely solely on Carlo Pinsoglio as backup to Guglielmo Vicario, given Pinsoglio's limited game time. They are prioritizing a low-cost, experienced option to provide stability. Neto has emerged as the leading candidate, largely due to his previous tenure at the club and his familiarity with the environment.
While Neto is the primary target, the club has evaluated nearly ten different players over the past 48 hours, including Alessio Cragno, Alfred Gomis, Jasper Cillessen, Bruno Varela, Sergio Rico, Adam Stejskal, and Asmir Begovic. Internal options from the U-23 side, such as Radu, are considered too inexperienced for an immediate step up, while long-term planning involves monitoring Frosinone's Palmisani.
Juventus are expected to finalize their decision regarding the new signing within the next few hours.
