Last season, the Italian started 37 of the 38 Serie A games he played, and with the futures of both Dean Henderson and Keylor Navas uncertain, Steve Cooper has highlighted him as a potential possibility for the ongoing window.
Nottingham Forest will need a new number one next season if Henderson and Navas are not still with the club, and given how effectively Di Gregorio performed last season, he would be an improvement over Cooper’s present choices.
The Carlo Alberto Belloni Client, who earns £13k per week, had ten clean sheets in 37 Serie A matches last season and was his team’s fourth best-performing player overall, demonstrating how much of an impact he had.
The 6 foot 1 giant also made 119 saves from 167 shots on target against, giving him a save percentage of 72.5%, which was higher than any of the three goalkeepers involved in the Midlands action.
Finally, according to FBRef, Di Gregorio has a very strong passing range, having completed 259 of 259 short passes for a 100% success rate and 539 of 553 medium passes for a 97.5% success rate.
He’s a really well-rounded player who would fit right in with the Reds ahead of the 2023/24 season, especially if Cooper wants to bring the ball out from the back more.
