We are entering the final weekend of there being no calcio ahead of the 2026-27 season kicking off next week. And just nine days away from Juventus beginning the new campaign against Frosinone, their goalkeeper situation is very much just as unsettled as it was — and likely much more now! — than it was back at the end of the 2025-26 season when we all knew a change was needed.
Juventus are about to pivot to yet another backup option when it comes to signing a new goalkeeper.
It is now as a result of the potential season-long deal between Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain for Zion Suzuki going from distinct possibility to looking very unlikely to happen all within a day or so. That means the latest pivot to try and bring in a new goalkeeper as a result of Michele Di Gregorio's host of struggles over the last 12 months has taken us to Guglielmo Vicario being described as "the favorite" in terms of potential candidates. (Which, unless there's somebody that Giovanni Carnevali and Frederic Massara are working on in the background that we don't know about, pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the current situation to sign a new goalkeeper.)
However, there's another twist in all this: As Sky Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio said an hour or two ago, "everything is on hold."
Oh … well, that's good, right? Especially with the season all of nine days away from kicking off?
