Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio is reportedly a candidate to replace fan-favourite Ederson at Manchester City if the Brazilian stopper decides to leave the English North-West during the summer transfer window.
According to reports from Spanish outlet fichajes.net, Di Gregorio is fondly admired in Manchester, particularly with his performances since joining Juventus in the summer.
Ederson is out of contract at the end of the 2025-26 season, which means that he will be entering the final year of his deal this summer unless he pens a new deal before then. Reports claim that there is a possibility the 31-year-old is moved on in the next window to avoid losing him on a free next summer.
While City reportedly appreciate Di Gregorio, Juve have absolutely no intention of letting him leave any time soon.
The 27-year-old moved to the Allianz Stadium during the last summer transfer window, and technically, he is not even a permanent Juventus player just yet.
He signed on an initial loan deal from Monza, and the Old Lady have an obligation to make the move permanent for a further €13.5m, which will bring the total cost of the operation up to €18m. The obligation to buy has not yet been formally activated.
