Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin is reportedly closing in on a return to Genoa next month.
Perin failed a medical to Benfica over the summer and stayed at Juventus to recover from a shoulder injury.
Now that he’s recovered, Goal Italia reports Genoa are ready to bring the 27-year-old back on loan with option to buy at the end of the season.
His performances for the Grifone last time out not only earned him Italy recognition but also a move to the Old Lady, who paid €12m for his services in July 2018.
However, he has fallen behind both Wojciech Szczesny and Gianluigi Buffon in their pecking order, managing just nine appearances in all competitions.
Perin kept 46 clean sheets in 151 games for the Rossoblu, who are currently bottom of Serie A, four points adrift of safety.
