Sergio Rico, a 33-year-old Spanish goalkeeper, and Neto, a 37-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper, are among the options being considered by the Juventus transfer market following Kamil Grabara's injury. The Polish goalkeeper suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture on the 19th of September and is expected to be out for 6-7 months.

Juventus Looks for a Solution to Replace Grabara

Grabara's injury forces Juventus to reassess their goalkeeping plans. The goalkeeper, signed from Wolfsburg in August on loan until 30th of June 2027, sustained the issue during training, with subsequent tests confirming the damage to his right knee.

The absence comes shortly after his European debut. Grabara started against NEC Nijmegen on the 17th of September, kept a clean sheet, and provided an assist in a 5-0 victory before being sidelined due to the subsequent injury.

Juventus' initial response will be internal. The club has Gianluigi Vicario and Carlo Pinsoglio, while Radu, a goalkeeper from the Next Gen team, is being considered to complete the first-team squad.

An alternative is to explore the free-agent market. Juventus is allowed to consider signings outside the regular transfer window, with Sergio Rico and Neto being mentioned in recent hours.

Sergio Rico and Neto Among Free Agents

Rico is currently without a club after his spell at Al-Gharafa. The Spaniard has also played for Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain, although some Italian media outlets note he has been inactive for a prolonged period.

Neto's case has another connection to Juventus. The Brazilian was with the club from 2015 to 2017, serving as an alternative to Gianluigi Buffon, and is now a free agent after leaving Botafogo.

Reports from Italy mention both as candidates for Juventus to consider, although there is currently no agreement with either player. According to Corriere della Sera, the names are being discussed as the club evaluates the need to sign a goalkeeper or handle the situation internally.

The decision by Luciano Spalletti is also influenced by the context. With Juventus competing in Serie A and the Europa League, Vicario could take over as the first-choice goalkeeper in all competitions while the selection for the second goalkeeper spot is being made.

The next move will occur in the coming days: Juventus must choose between promoting Radu permanently or turning to free agents, with Sergio Rico and Neto being options linked to Grabara's position. The expected 6-7 month recovery period maintains the ongoing assessment while the club prepares its response.
