Perin Officially Renews His Contract with Juventus

As anticipated by Cristiano Giuntoli, Mattia Perin prolonged his contract with Juventus until 2027, which means that he’ll likely conclude his career at high levels in Turin. He had the chance to leave last summer but opted to stay despite the arrival of Michele Di Gregorio.

While the former Monza star has been the starter, the 31-year-old had his fair share of opportunity. He had a standout performance against Stuttgart on Tuesday, although it wasn’t enough to avoid the defeat. He has played four times already, just once because his teammate wasn’t available.

Perin first joined Juventus back in 2018 after starring for Genoa for five seasons. He headed back to Liguria on loan after a year and a half due to Gianluigi Buffon’s return to the Old Lady. After two more campaigns with the Rossoblù, he’s served as the deputy for the past three and change. He has logged 51 appearances with Juventus, conceding 43 goals and keeping 23 clean sheets.

Perin anticipated the announcement on Tuesday (via TuttoSport).

“I don’t feel like a backup but as a co-starter because the team and the management allow me to think that. It’s up to us to prove ourselves. It’s only right for everybody to be at the manager’s disposal. We goalies push ourselves to get better every day. I’m getting to know Michele Di Gregorio. There’s a nice bond and a healthy competition between us.” “Personally, I’m great, and I try to bring some experience and passion. I’m sorry for the loss because Stuttgart gave us fits. I’m convinced it’ll serve us as a lesson. I’ve never seen anybody have success without some failures beforehand.”
