Mattia Perin’s likely January move to Genoa for regular starts could boost Genoa’s defensive stability; punters might back Genoa in low-goals markets or bet Perin to start and target clean-sheet markets once the transfer is confirmed.

Perin’s Search for Regular Football
Mattia Perin is pressing for a return to Genoa as he seeks regular playing time. The 33-year-old has seen his minutes limited behind Michele Di Gregorio at Juventus, prompting him to pursue an exit in the January transfer window. His desire to play week in, week out has made a move back to his former club the leading option.
Genoa Target Perin as De Rossi’s No.1
Genoa have emerged as Perin’s preferred destination, with manager Daniele De Rossi identifying him as the primary reinforcement between the posts. Talks are already underway as Genoa attempt to secure an experienced shot-stopper capable of shoring up their defence for the remainder of the season.
Juventus Prepared to Negotiate
Juventus are aware of Perin’s stance and, having initially hoped to retain him, have accepted that a January exit is possible. The club wants a transfer fee as part of any agreement rather than a straight loan or wage-only solution, indicating Juventus will aim to recoup value while accommodating the player’s wishes.
Who Could Replace Perin at Juventus?
With Perin potentially on the move, Juventus are already assessing alternatives to strengthen their goalkeeping department. Reported names under consideration include Dominik Livakovic, Christos Mandas and Etrit Berisha Leali, as the club draws up a shortlist to cover a possible departure and maintain competition for the number one spot.
Implications for Teams and Bettors
A Perin transfer would give Genoa an experienced presence between the sticks and could influence defensive metrics for both clubs. For bettors, a confirmed Perin start would likely make Genoa more attractive in low-goals markets and clean-sheet bets, while Juventus’ recruitment choices may affect odds for both goals and goalkeeper-specific markets.
