Manchester City Targets Juventus’ Michele Di Gregorio as Potential Ederson Replacement
Premier League champions line up Italian goalkeeper as doubts grow over Brazilian’s future at the Etihad.
Manchester City are actively pursuing a replacement for Ederson, with Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio emerging as a top target. Amid growing uncertainty over the Brazilian’s future, Pep Guardiola’s staff is accelerating their search for a new No. 1.
Ederson’s Exit Looms
After years of success with City, Ederson is no longer considered untouchable by the club’s coaching staff. Internal discussions are ongoing regarding his future, and a transfer in the current window remains a real possibility.
As speculation around his departure intensifies, City have begun scouting alternatives. Several goalkeepers have been evaluated, but one name stands out: Michele Di Gregorio, currently with Juventus.
Michele Di Gregorio Catches City’s Eye
According to Tutto Mercato, the 26-year-old Italian has attracted strong interest from the Premier League champions. Di Gregorio’s performances at the Club World Cup reportedly impressed Manchester City officials, who have since inquired about his availability.
The goalkeeper, who joined Juventus after a standout season with Monza, has quickly raised his market value, positioning himself among the most promising Italian shot-stoppers.
Juventus Reluctant to Sell
Despite City’s interest, Juventus are not expected to let Di Gregorio go easily. The club views the goalkeeper as part of their long-term plans, and there have been no formal talks initiated between the two sides.
Nevertheless, Manchester City remains highly interested, and an official offer may arrive soon as they continue restructuring the squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.
