Vandersen and Mattia Perin were among the standout performers as Juventus settled for a 0-0 draw away against AS Monaco in the final match of the 2025-26
Juventus have so far rebuffed Genoa’s attempts to bring back Mattia Perin, as they don’t want to spend for a replacement mid-season, and are content with Michele Di Gregorio in general.
Juventus have decided to reject Genoa’s offer for their second-choice goalkeeper Mattia Perin, who now appears set to stay in Turin. The 33-year-old rose through the ranks of the Grifone and established himself as one of the finest shot-stoppers in Serie A, which earned him a transfer to Juventus in the summer of 2018.
Juventus have decided to block Mattia Perin’s proposed move to Genoa, turning down an approach from the Ligurian club in recent hours. Genoa had submitted an official offer for the goalkeeper and were hopeful of progressing talks, but the Old Lady have now made it clear that Perin will not be allowed to leave during the January window.
Juventus and Genoa are apparently working on an exchange deal that will see Mattia Perin and Nicola Leali return to their former clubs. The Grifone’s interest in Perin has come out in the open, as their new head coach, Daniele De Rossi, requested a reunion with his former international teammate.
Juventus could part ways with Mattia Perin in January, and have already identified Christos Mandas as the right profile to replace him. The Italian shot-stopper has been serving as an understudy in Turin for years, but Genoa are keen to bring back their youth product for a third stint.
Genoa continues to monitor Mattia Perin as they aim to secure his services as soon as possible. The goalkeeper has spent much of his time at Juventus as a second choice, with his last consistent spell as a first-choice goalkeeper occurring during his loan at Genoa.
Genoa are eager to bolster their squad under Daniele De Rossi and have knocked on Juventus and Roma’s doors to ask for Mattia Perin and Niccolò Pisilli.
Mattia Perin’s future at Juventus is increasingly uncertain as the goalkeeper pushes for a return to Genoa in search of regular playing time. While the 33-year-old remains a respected figure inside the Juventus dressing room, his role behind Michele Di Gregorio has limited his minutes, prompting him to explore an exit in the January window.
Juventus have reportedly enquired about Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas, who has been identified as a possible replacement for Mattia Perin. Over the past month or so, the Italian custodian has been increasingly linked with a return to Genoa.
Juventus, Lazio and Genoa are reportedly entangled in a merry-go-round involving Christos Mandas, Mattia Perin and Nicola Leali. The Greek goalkeeper is unhappy with his status at Lazio, having lost the starting berth he had acquired under Marco Baroni following Maurizio Sarri’s return to the club.
Juventus, Lazio, and Genoa could work a triple deal involving their goalkeepers, Mattia Perin, Christos Mandas, and Nicola Leali. According to Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà, a merry-go-round involving all three Serie A clubs is a possibility in January, albeit it remains in its early stages.
Genoa are keen to bring Mattia Perin back to the club and restore him as their first-choice goalkeeper this season. The experienced shot stopper has remained an important figure at Juventus, yet he has spent much of his time in Turin as the club’s second choice, limiting his opportunities for regular football.
Mattia Perin has experienced working under numerous managers during his long tenure at Juventus, and he remains a key figure within the squad. The Azzurri goalkeeper continues to serve as the club’s second choice but is striving to become the first choice under Luciano Spalletti.
Italian journalist Sandro Sabatini believes that Juventus boss Luciano Spalletti has already changed the goalkeepers’ hierarchy, with Mattia Perin overtaking Michele Di Gregorio.
Mattia Perin has been part of Juventus since 2018, a period during which he has worked under Max Allegri on two occasions as well as several other managers at the club.
Mattia Perin has opened up about overcoming mental health struggles while continuing in his role as second choice at Juventus. Although he does not start regularly, the Bianconeri goalkeeper remains widely regarded as one of the finest in Italian football and has consistently performed well when called upon.
Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin will remain in Turin at least until the end of the season, as the club has no desire to part ways with him. The 33-year-old has always offered a safe pair of hands whenever called upon.
Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin has been caught up in a betting scandal alongside two former Torino players, but the experienced shot-stopper has chosen to resolve the matter privately by accepting the option to pay a fine.
The conversation between new Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti and goalkeeper Mattia Perin is going viral, as it already sets the scene for this different era.
Mattia Perin urged Juventus to stay united and rediscover their identity after a damaging 1-0 defeat away to Lazio, a result that deepens the pressure on Igor Tudor and extends the Bianconeri’s winless run.
Under Igor Tudor, Michele di Gregorio has been the undisputed first choice between the posts, yet the manager surprised many by starting Mattia Perin against Villarreal in midweek.
Multiple sources in Italy claim that Mattia Perin will start in goal for Juventus against Villarreal this evening, replacing Michele Di Gregorio. Juventus’ backup goalkeeper Perin is expected to make his 2025-26 season debut tonight, in an away Champions League match at Villarreal.
