Lazio Keeper Mandas on Juventus Radar

Juventus is reportedly interested in acquiring Lazio's second-choice goalkeeper, Christos Mandas, a 24-year-old who has impressed behind Ivan Provedel. Sources indicate Juventus views Mandas as a highly regarded prospect. Lazio has placed a valuation exceeding €15 million plus add-ons on the player, though any transfer hinges on Lazio receiving approval for new signings in the upcoming January window.

The potential transfer of Mandas is closely tied to the future of Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin. Perin is actively pushing for a return to his former club, Genoa, signaling a strong desire to wear their colors again. Juventus, however, has stated they will only permit Perin's exit if they can secure a capable, high-level replacement.

This developing situation could see a chain reaction in the Serie A transfer market. Interestingly, Lazio has been mentioned as a club that might consider Nicola Leali as a potential replacement should Mandas depart. While still in its early stages, the January transfer window is expected to bring significant movement in the goalkeeping positions.
