Frederic Massara has begun work at Juventus immediately after joining the club’s backroom staff as Chief Football Officer at the Allianz Stadium.
Massara will play a key role in reshaping the Juventus squad during the summer transfer window, working directly under CEO Giovanni Carnevali. One of the first transfer moves the club is pursuing is a deal for Emiliano Martinez, [who has emerged as a priority target](https://talkjuve.com/2026/07/09/juventus-sets-up-a-new-meeting-to-sign-world-cup-winner/).
The Argentina international is reportedly Luciano Spalletti’s preferred choice to become Juventus’ first-choice goalkeeper next season. The club are therefore working to strengthen that position as they prepare for the new campaign.
Juventus Prioritise Martinez Move
---------------------------------
Martinez remains with Argentina at the World Cup, where he has the opportunity to reach another final and potentially win the competition. Despite his international commitments, Juventus are continuing its efforts to bring him to Turin.
Spalletti is reportedly not planning to keep Michele Di Gregorio as his first-choice goalkeeper next season and would be willing to see him leave if Martinez joins the club.
Juventus have not yet secured a new destination for Di Gregorio, but that has not prevented them from progressing with their pursuit of the Argentina international.
According to [Alfredo Pedulla](https://www.alfredopedulla.com/la-juventus-incontra-lagente-del-dibu-martinez-la-situazione/), Juventus have now increased their interest in signing Martinez as they continue to explore the conditions required to complete a transfer.
Massara Gets to Work
--------------------
The report states that Carnevali and Massara held discussions with the goalkeeper’s agent while Martinez remains at the World Cup. The purpose of those talks was to establish what would be required for Juventus to secure an agreement for his signature.
Massara’s immediate involvement in one of the club’s leading transfer targets highlights the important role he is expected to play in Juventus’ recruitment strategy this summer.
With the transfer window continuing, Juventus will hope to make progress on a deal for Martinez while also resolving the future of Di Gregorio as they continue rebuilding the squad ahead of the new season.
