Serie A Giants Line up Shock Move for Premier League Flop

Serie A giants Juventus have identified Aro Muric as a potential target, with the Kosovar goalkeeper enjoying a solid season in goal for Sassuolo on loan from Ipswich Town this term, as per Tuttosport.

The 27-year-old joined the top flight side on a temporary basis from Kieran McKenna's side back in the summer and has impressed as a regular part of a Sassuolo side who sit in 10th place in Serie A this term.

This form has pricked the ears of The Old Lady, who have outlined a potential move for the Manchester City academy product as a new signing. Any move for the goalkeeper would likely take place in the summer.

Muric Tipped for Surprise Juventus Switch

Reports in Italy have emanated linking Aro Muric with a potential switch to Juventus, following impressive form on loan under Fabio Grosso with Sassuolo. The Kosovo shot-stopper has earned plenty of praise for his showings this season, which has alerted the Turin heavyweights to his potential availability at the end of the season.

The goalkeeper has kept four clean sheets from 17 appearances in Serie A, conceding 20 times, with the team competing for a potential European place for next season.

The goalkeeper has helped earn his side four clean sheets from his 17 Serie A showings this season, conceding on 20 occasions, as I Neroverdi eye up a potential push towards European qualification. Ipswich Town picked up Muric in the summer of 2024 from Burnley for a reported £15m after The Clarets were relegated to the EFL Championship.

He lost his place in McKenna's side towards the latter end of Ipswich's Premier League campaign, with Christian Walton and Alex Palmer instead enjoying positions as first-choice keeper since his displacement - Ipswich were ultimately relegated themselves at the end of the season, which prompted Muric's temporary Serie A switch. He has a contract at Portman Road until the summer of 2028.

Ipswich currently sit in 3rd position in the Championship table, two points outside of the automatic promotion spots with a game in hand. They are next in action in the FA Cup, hosting Blackpool at 3pm on Saturday, 10th of January..
