The Juventus club had made a survey for the Frenchman last autumn, now the deal can become hot again. Also on the Juventus list are Vicario and Dibu Martinez
Juventus has discovered who they will make their league debut with, but not yet who they will line up between the posts on 23 August in Frosinone. The only certainty is that the first Juventus goalkeeper in 2025-26 will no longer be Michele Di Gregorio. This is confirmed once again by the movements of CEO Damien Comolli and his collaborators. The managers guaranteed Luciano Spalletti hits in all departments, but mainly in attack and in goal. Contacts, surveys and meetings continue after Liverpool’s about-turn on Alisson, who has been engaged to the Lady for months but has been frozen in recent days due to the English wall. Spalletti didn’t take it well, but in his heart he still hopes for a miracle. Comolli must be more pragmatic and practical and so a week ago he began to look around, aiming his radar at the expert and somehow reachable number ones. Between Guglielmo Vicario of Tottenham – reported in pole position – and Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez of Aston Villa, the Bianconeri probed an old question: AC Milan player Mike Maignan.

In France they say that it was Juventus who renewed contacts with the entourage of Didier Deschamps’ national team goalkeeper. At Continassa, however, they argue exactly the opposite. The substance, however, does not change much. There is also Maignan among the number one in the Juventus list due to Di Gregorio’s post. A classic flashback. Yes, because Juventus thought about “Magic Mike” last autumn, when the former Lille player’s contract was expiring and the renewal with Milan seemed complicated. In the end, also thanks to the mediation of Massimiliano Allegri, Maignan was linked to Milan until 2031: long and rich contract (5 million plus bonuses). But partly Allegri’s farewell and partly the moment of the Rossoneri, grappling with a total revolution, have rekindled the old flame. Not a simple operation, but in the meantime something is moving. Whether it will remain an idea or evolve into a concrete discussion will be understood in the coming weeks. It will depend on the goalkeeper’s plans and also on those of Cardinale’s new Milan.

Maignan’s name is (re)added to the Juventus goalkeeper list. A “file” currently dominated by the Italian Guglielmo Vicario, who quietly gains points and positions every day. Deputy Donnarumma of the national team is 29 years old and would like to return to Serie A. Tottenham seems willing to please him, obviously only at certain prices. The 33-year-old Martinez, world champion with Argentina and fresh winner of the Europa League with Aston Villa, resists the Italian. Alisson closes the podium, but always has the asterisk linked to the Liverpool revolution. Everything is changing at Anfield, not the position on the Brazilian: if the new manager Iraola were to change the plans, the former Roma player would embrace Spalletti again. In the background De Gea (Fiorentina) and Nubel (Bayern).
