Juventus are targeting Lazio keeper Christos Mandas, valued above €15m. Betting angle: a Mandas transfer would shift Juventus’ goalkeeping picture and could shorten odds on Juventus clean sheets; Perin’s likely return to Genoa may strengthen their defence—punters should watch goalkeeper markets and goals-under bets in matches involving Juventus, Lazio and Genoa.
Juventus target Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas ahead of January window
Juventus have identified 24-year-old Christos Mandas as a potential signing for the January transfer window. Mandas, currently the second-choice at Lazio behind Ivan Provedel, has attracted interest from clubs in Italy and abroad. Lazio’s valuation is understood to be above €15m plus add-ons, a figure that would require Juventus to secure permission to spend in the winter window.
Valuation and transfer prerequisites
Lazio are seeking more than €15m plus add-ons for Mandas. Any move hinges not only on Juventus’ willingness to meet the fee but also on their internal transfer plans and approval to bring in a new keeper before the window closes. Mandas is viewed as a strong option for a club looking to bolster depth and potential starting options in goal.
Mattia Perin pushing for Genoa return
Mattia Perin is reportedly keen to return to Genoa, where he began his career. Juventus are open to letting Perin leave only if they can secure a high-level replacement, ruling out simple swap deals. The club’s priority is to avoid weakening their goalkeeping options midseason.
Potential domino effect at goalkeeper positions
Should Mandas move, Lazio could explore Nicola Leali as a replacement, while Juventus would focus on signing a proven deputy or starter to allow Perin’s departure. Early contacts have been made and mutual interest exists, but the situation remains fluid as clubs assess needs ahead of January.
What this means for Serie A and betting markets
The potential shuffle of keepers could alter defensive outlooks for all clubs involved. Bettors should monitor confirmations closely: a Mandas arrival at Juventus could impact clean-sheet probabilities for upcoming fixtures, and Perin at Genoa might reduce their goals conceded. Goalkeeper-specific markets and totals (under/over goals) are likelier to move as deals progress.
