Juventus Beat Palermo to Close Preseason Tour as Perin Starts

The win capped a tour that tested fitness, settled short-term roles and left coach Luciano Spalletti signalling a steady transfer approach.

Overview

Juventus defeated Palermo 2-0 in Perth with goals from Kenan Yildiz and Arkadiusz Milik to finish their Asia-Australia preseason tour on a positive note.
Spalletti confirmed Mattia Perin had been selected to start in goal for the match as part of planned rotation and goalkeeper management.
Federico Gatti was originally to be limited to about 20–30 minutes because of fatigue but ended up playing significantly more and was reported to have finished the game well.
After the game Spalletti said Douglas Luiz is 'most likely' to remain at the club, reflecting a transfer stance described as unchanged since before the friendlies.
Juventus return to Turin for a final in-house Next Gen friendly on August 17 as a last tune-up before the Serie A opener on August 23 and to continue assessing fitness and tactics.
