Buffon approves Di Gregorio signing

“Yes, I like Di Gregorio,” Buffon said in a video with ilBicnaoncero.

“I think that he’s had two amazing seasons and he’s absolutely confirmed over those two years that he’s one of the best goalkeepers around.”

Juventus have paid a fee of €4.5m to bring Di Gregorio in on loan for the 2024-25 campaign, and will have to pay a further €13.5m across three instalments, plus €800,000 in add-ons in order to make the move permanent.

Juve’s option to sign the player will become a mandatory obligation if certain conditions are met during the 2024-25 season.
