The best goalkeeper in Serie A two years ago doesn't make us a scudetto contender?
Was Di Gregorio some liability?
Like I get the argument if our GK is Perin or some midtable level guy but Di Gregorio has been a top GK in Serie A and hasn't been bad.
Would there be some improvement? Maybe, Donnarumma was pretty bad when he arrived at PSG so like all players he has his ups and downs. But would him at his peak be a massive increase over Di Gregorio?
If we're dropping 60m of a transfer fee and 12m net wages on somebody, is it going to be a GK when you can get 1-2 steps down for a fourth that and improvement elsewhere?

Unless he badly misses Italy and wants to be back there, it makes no sense to leave a top club in the world to go to a worse club for less money (that applies to every club, not just Juve).
I'm sure it's just typical public negotiation BS with his agent leaking out his interest in returning to Italy.

Donarumma is indeed a much better GK but if we have a budget and we spend it on Donnaruma instead of taking care of other positions it would mean we have a GK we can trust but we would still be unbalanced and would still struggle.
Straight up swap same cost - Obviously Donnaruma. With all things considered - Unless we make it a low cost operation (D.G`s money + a reasonable but not too high sum) I`d pass.
We are now linked with Ndoye. He is a good player but he sits right on Conceicao`s role and between 40M Ndoye and 30M Conceicao I`d go for the Portuguese.

Leoni is actually a very good CB. I`d definitely snap him up for the right sum.
Have no idea who Comuzzo is though.

Leoni and Camuzzo both seem very raw to me.
Even in the last few games of the season Leoni made some poor mistakes vs Lazio (Pedro goal), Napoli (Anguissa hit the post) and Empoli (late on got easy beaten on the wing which led to a good chance). Lots of potential but doesn't seem ready to be a starter yet.
