Di Gregorio's Inter Milan slip fuels Spalletti's push for a new goalkeeper

Michele Di Gregorio's poor showing against Inter Milan has revived Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti's desire to find a replacement for the goalkeeper position.

Michele Di Gregorio entered the pre-season with Juventus looking to prove he could remain the team's first-choice goalkeeper. While earlier friendlies were encouraging, his performance in the latest game against Inter Milan proved problematic, as he let in goals that the club believes should have been saved. Luciano Spalletti, known for insisting on near-perfect concentration from his squad, has expressed doubts about Di Gregorio's suitability for the role.

The criticism aligns with Juventus' broader strategy to secure a new goalkeeper before the summer window closes. As a result, the club may intensify its search for a replacement, putting Di Gregorio's future in jeopardy. The upcoming weeks will be crucial for the keeper to demonstrate that the Inter defeat was an isolated lapse rather than a sign of deeper issues.

Why it matters

Juventus' decision on the goalkeeper could shape the team's competitiveness in the upcoming season.
