Perin has already worked with coach Gian Piero Gasperini during their time together at Genoa, from 2014-16.

He spent the last eight months on loan at Genoa, making a full recovery from a recurring shoulder problem, and helped the Grifone avoid relegation.

His contract with Juventus runs to June 2022 and the 27-year-old currently earns €2.2m per year wages.

Perin had already been mentioned as part of negotiations when Juventus were trying to purchase Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata, and that approach could well be considered again.
