vox888 Juventus are in the final stages of talks with Mattia Perin’s agent over a new contract, with a deal expected to be signed in the coming days. vox888

Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport reports that Perin’s agent Alessandro Lucci has arrived in Turin and is set to hold an official meeting with Juventus executives on Wednesday afternoon.

Perin is reportedly set to sign a new deal that runs until 2027, replacing his current deal, which expires at the end of the 2024-25 season, with both parties confident an agreement can be reached.

Perin has started two of the first eight Serie A games of the season, while he only started in Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League defeat at Stuttgart after Michele Di Gregorio was suspended.

Perin was named Man of the Match after Tuesday’s game, and despite Juventus losing, the 31-year-old saved a penalty and several others, suggesting he is ready to challenge Di Gregorio for a starting spot ( vox888 )
