Juventus weigh Sergio Rico deal after Grabara injury

Kamil Grabara’s move to Juventus has hit a serious snag. Less than a month after arriving, the Polish goalkeeper suffered a major injury to his right knee, a situation Mundo Deportivo links to the club’s need to find a new option behind Guglielmo Vicario.

In the best-case scenario reported, Grabara would miss action for at least three months. That timeline is the main driver of Juventus’ search for a replacement, especially as the team is already leaning on its youth setup: according to the same report, coach Luciano Spalletti called up Radu for Sunday’s match against Atalanta.

Talks for Sergio Rico

With the shortage getting urgent, the market is starting to move. As transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio explains, Juventus has Sergio Rico (33) on their shortlist. Mundo Deportivo also adds that, per sources close to the club, initial contacts with the Sevilla man have already begun.

However, he isn’t the only name being discussed. Other options mentioned include Jasper Cillessen and Neto.

Market vs. internal solution

Even though Juventus may have a right in this context, the report leaves room for a different approach: the club could decide not to push hard in the market and instead rely on what’s currently available. For now, the key question is how quickly Grabara recovers, but Sergio Rico is already being sounded out as Juventus try to keep stability in goal.
