Yes. His struggles have mainly been with fitness. Wasn’t that great last time he was at juve but I think being a backup isn’t as easy as it sounds especially when you’re doing it after being a starter. He needs to play. He’s in his prime years though and took a step forward last season. He’s also a leader, unlike Tek and was Genoa’s captain. Tek just needs to keep doing what he’s been doing and Perin will get his chance eventually.
He had a fantastic season at Genoa and was main reason they finished 11th instead of fighting relegation. Best save % in Serie a. However, he was pretty poor in his spell here, back when Tek was actually a class keeper lol.
Some keepers thrive in mediocre teams that keep them super busy in goal, but don’t do well at top clubs where they have to stay focused with long periods of inactivity. I’d like to see Perin get a run of matches as starter to see how he does.

He struggled with the presure. Didnt had to many chances and did okay but Chesny was integrated in the team a lot better because he already had a year as Buffon's backup. Before that season I expected Perin to become our main goalie because he was incredible back then. Nobody looked to Donnarumma yet and 12m was a great price for Perin.
No shoulder problems since. He missed a couple weeks with a muscle problem but nothing major. I think he also had COVID. As long as he’s fit he’s our best option imo. But it’s only a temporary solution as his contract is up after the season. So either he establishes himself and we extend him or we’re gonna be looking for a keeper next summer.
I think Tek is done at Juve either way. His benching is only a matter of time. He would essentially have to be perfect to avoid it. The leash is so tight it would be a miracle if he recovered.
