Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio is facing increased scrutiny from fans and media after the team conceded seven goals in their last two outings. Di Gregorio`s performance is under the spotlight as Juventus prepares for their upcoming Serie A clash against Verona.
Italian Media Express Concerns Over Di Gregorio`s Form
Italian sports media have extensively covered the goalkeeper`s recent displays, highlighting the seven goals Juventus allowed in those two matches. While Gazzetta noted that not all goals were solely Di Gregorio`s responsibility, his concession of at least two goals at the near post against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday drew particular criticism.
Speculation has arisen that coach Igor Tudor might bench Di Gregorio for the Verona game, opting instead to start Mattia Perin.
Di Gregorio`s Lucrative Juventus Contract Revealed
Despite the criticism, Gazzetta indicates that Juventus aims to support Di Gregorio, who was acquired last season for €18 million, plus an additional €800,000 in agent fees. Over his four-year contract at the Allianz Stadium, the Italian keeper is set to earn a substantial €36.8 million before taxes.
Notably, despite conceding seven goals in their recent two fixtures, Juventus managed to avoid defeats, securing a thrilling 4-3 victory against Inter and a 4-4 draw against Borussia Dortmund.
