By late August 2026, Juventus has completed a significant overhaul of its goalkeeping department. The club has secured both Guglielmo Vicario and Kamil Grabara on loan deals with options to purchase. Vicario arrives from Tottenham Hotspur to serve as the primary starter under manager Luciano Spalletti, while Grabara joins from Wolfsburg to serve as his deputy.

Grabara’s loan deal from VfL Wolfsburg includes a €11.5 million option to purchase. The 27-year-old is expected to compete for playing time in Serie A and European competitions, potentially serving as a primary option for cup matches or challenging Vicario for the starting role. Grabara has been assigned the number 1 shirt and noted that former Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny spoke highly of him, facilitating his arrival. His move has also drawn media attention due to his partner, Dominika Robak.

These arrivals follow the departures of Mattia Perin to Palermo and Michele Di Gregorio, who is nearing a loan move to Premier League side Bournemouth. The deal for Di Gregorio includes a €14 million option to buy and a €1.5 million guarantee clause for Juventus if the option is not exercised. The use of loan agreements reflects a strategic management decision to evaluate player performances before making long-term financial commitments. 

Earlier planning involved a complex three-way deal for Zion Suzuki involving Paris Saint-Germain and Parma, as well as inquiries into River Plate’s Santiago Beltrán. While the club continues to manage various player exits to balance the budget, defensive planning has faced complications due to Juan Cabal expressing opposition to a potential loan move to Bologna.
