Genoa urgently needs reinforcements after the third consecutive failure, 1-3 with AS Roma, at the Olimpico. Coach Daniele De Rossi has asked, first of all, for a goalkeeper, and the owner of the Rossoblu club is ready to invest in his transfer Mattia Perin from Juventus.
After 17 stages, Genoa cannot break away from 17th place, the first above the relegation zone, and is only two points above Hellas Verona, who have a game in hand. After 1-2 with Inter and 0-1 with Atalanta, both at home, yesterday came the clear failure (1-3) with Roma at the Olimpicowhere Daniele De Rossi, the former captain of the Giallorossi, received an exceptional welcome.
“There is a difference of only one million euros to Perin's price”
The Grifon coach did not like losing in the Capital and asked the boss to bring in an experienced goalkeeper in January.
Because De Rossi no longer trusts Nicola Leali, eliminated in the debut game with Atalanta, nor in his replacement, Daniele Sommariva, while Benjamin Siegrist, on loan from Rapid, is recovering from a fractured finger.
Daily Tuttosport reports in today's print edition that “Genoa and Juventus have reached a full agreement over the transfer of Mattia Perin, who has his bags packed, with the deal set to be completed as early as this week.”
204Mattian Perin defended matches at Genoa until 2018, when he was sold to Juventus for 16.3 million euros. The 33-year-old Italian only made 60 appearances for the Bianconeri in seven seasons
The Turin publication claims that all the details related to Perin's contractual relationship with Juvetus and Genoa have already been finalized and all that is left is for the clubs to clap their hands over the transfer fee: “there is a difference of one million euros or even less.
Leali or Mandas, reserve goalkeeper at Juventus? Perin could be an exchange at Genoa for Norton-Cuffy!
Perin is attracted by the prospect of returning to the team he grew up with, after seven seasons at Juventus, where he had become an “influencer in the Bianconero dressing room”, as Spalletti said. Juventus is still waiting for the approval of the executive director Comolli and the new sports director Ottolini, who came from Genoa himself”.
Tuttosport say Juventus are hoping to quickly find a back-up for Di Gregorio, who coach Spalletti never wants to take out of the gate, before letting Perin go.
The main target is the Greek Mandas from Lazio, but it would not be excluded that the Bianconeri take Leali from Genoa and postpone until the summer to find a more valuable goalkeeper.

In the Italian press there is another version for the transfer of Perin to Genoa. For Juventus to pay a sum of money in addition the transfer of Matteo to buy Brooke Norton-Cuffy from Genoa, quoted by Dan Țucu at around 20 million euros.
