The Bianconeri wanted a total overhaul of their shot-stoppers this summer, after bringing in Guglielmo Vicario on loan with option to buy from Tottenham Hotspur.
It had already been reported today that negotiations were at an advanced stage for the sale of Perin to Serie B outfit Palermo , after Juve agreed to lower the €3m asking price thanks to mediation from agent Alessandro Lucci.

There had also been interest from the likes of Lazio, Olympique Marseille, Torino, Valencia, Besiktas, but above all a return to his old club Monza.
Instead, Bournemouth appear to have convinced both the player and Juventus to accept this deal.
His current contract in Turin runs to June 2029, after the Bianconeri invested €18.8m plus bonus to get him from Monza in 2024.

What happened
Italian goalkeeper Di Gregorio is reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Juventus, according to reports. However, Premier League side Bournemouth have also been credited with interest in the shot-stopper, potentially complicating the negotiations. Di Gregorio has been one of the standout goalkeepers in Serie A, attracting attention from multiple clubs across Europe. The eventual destination will likely be determined in the coming weeks as talks progress.
Chance analysis
Di Gregorio emerging as a target for both Juventus and Bournemouth underscores the rising demand for top-tier goalkeeping talent across Europe's major leagues. For Juventus, securing an established Serie A keeper would address a long-standing area of concern between the posts, while Bournemouth's interest reflects the Premier League's continued pull on the continent's best players. A potential bidding scenario could drive up the price and force one club to act decisively.
Di Gregorio's likely move to Juventus would strengthen their goalkeeping position, while Bournemouth remain a competing destination that could yet hijack the deal.
