Juventus keeper says 'yes' to Benfica move

15 lug 2019

Mattia Perin's time at Juventus is coming to an end. After joining the club from Genoa to serve as the club's back-up goalkeeper, an unconvincing season from the Italian keeper has led him to already leave the club.

Juventus are bringing back experienced goalkeeper and club icon Gianluigi Buffon, after a spell in France for a year with Ligue 1 giants PSG. Therefore, there is little room for Perin.

Portuguese side Benfiica had emerged, in recent days, as the favourites to sign the goalkeeper and it appears as though a deal may be reached on a loan-to-buy basis, with a total fee of close to Juventus' 15 million euro asking price.
