Overview
- Juventus quietly added Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to a shortlist in early June as they reviewed options for a new No. 1, according to Italian and English reports.
- Reports say the club views Pickford’s experience and leadership positively but is cautious because he has had high-profile errors and any deal would carry a significant transfer cost.
- Pickford signed a contract with Everton that runs to 2029 and has publicly indicated he does not want to leave, which Everton view as a clear signal they are not willing sellers.
- Several outlets describe Juventus’ interest as brief or exploratory and say the club has since turned attention to other options, reducing the chance of a summer move.
- If Pickford stays, Everton will need to manage goalkeeper depth because backup Mark Travers may seek regular football, and Juventus’ shift could ease pressure on rivals linked to Alisson.
