A long apprenticeship, all the way to the top. This is the story of Michele Di Gregorio, who started at Inter and arrived at Juventus. In between, however, years in the lower categories, to mature and macerate, given that he already seemed one of the best prospects a few seasons ago. First year in Renate, more games than goals conceded. Second year in Novara, the same. Third year in Pordenone decent, then the move to Monza, where at the beginning he conceded 29 in 31 games. In the last seasons always in the negative, but never above 50 goals conceded.
Extraordinary last year. With only 37 goals conceded in 34 appearances, not bad in Serie A for a club that had no great ambitions in Europe, other than that of a comfortable salvation.
For Adriano Galliani he was the best goalkeeper of last Serie A. “It’s not me saying it but the statistics: he was the best goalkeeper of Serie A, so Juventus took the best goalkeeper of Serie A. It all started in January or February, I saw Giuntoli’s call and he told me that Di Gregorio was his and then we would talk about money. That’s how it was”. Sold for 3.5 million plus 14.5 of obligation to buy and 2 of bonus, 20 to have the new starter between the posts. Today Michele Di Gregorio turns 27.
