Cash now, profit later: Juve loans Di Gregorio to Bournemouth

Juve has sent goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio to Premier League side Bournemouth on a season‑long loan that runs until 30 June 2027, with a fixed loan fee of €1.3 million. The agreement also gives Bournemouth the option to buy the Italian international outright for a further €12.7 million.

Immediate cash and wage relief

The loan brings Juventus €1.3 million in fixed income. Di Gregorio’s gross salary of €3.7 million per season (net €2 million) is removed from Juventus’ wage bill for 2026/27. Combining the loan fee with the salary saving yields an economic benefit of roughly €5 million for the 2026/27 accounts. The deal also contains a performance‑related add‑on of €800 000 that could increase the loan fee if Bournemouth meets certain sporting targets.

Future upside if the purchase is triggered

Bournemouth holds an option to purchase Di Gregorio permanently for €12.7 million, payable over three financial years. The permanent transfer clause includes a further bonus of up to €1.5 million tied to specific objectives during the player’s contract. Adding the fixed loan fee and the optional purchase price gives a baseline potential value of €14 million, while the two bonus packages can raise the total to a maximum of €16.3 million. Should the option be exercised, Juventus would record a net book value of just over €7.3 million for Di Gregorio, generating a capital gain of about €5.4 million, plus any applicable bonuses.

The contrast shows Juventus using the loan to secure immediate cash flow and wage relief while positioning itself for a sizeable future profit if the English club activates the purchase clause.
