This season, Serie A is proving to be one of the most competitive leagues in Europe, thanks in large part to the outstanding form of its goalkeepers. We take a closer look at which gloves the Italian league’s shot-stoppers are using and which brand comes out on top.
For this analysis, we have focused primarily on first-choice goalkeepers—those who play regularly—but have also included substitutes who have featured significantly, such as Mirante and Reina, who stepped in for their respective teams’ first-choice keepers.
Reusch
Topping the list is the German brand specialising in goalkeeping equipment: Reusch. Known for producing some of the best gloves on the market for many years, Reusch remains the gold standard. At least seven Serie A goalkeepers rely on Reusch, though not all opt for the same model. There is a clear divide between those who prefer a lightweight, minimalist glove—such as Handanovic and Gollini, who use the Reusch Pure Contact—and those who seek a more robust, technical design—such as Cragno, Sportiello, Meret, and many others, who choose the Reusch Attrakt.
Adidas Predator
In second place is adidas’s flagship model: the Predator. These gloves are worn by top goalkeepers including Italy’s national team goalkeeper, Donnarumma, as well as Skorupski, Sepe, and many others. Not all of them use exactly the same version; models include the Predator Pro, Predator Fingersave, and Predator Hybrid. All feature the signature Predator Element technology—rubber inserts on the back of the hand that provide extra grip and power for punching clearances—alongside adidas’s renowned URG 2.0 palm.
Puma and Nike
In third place, two brands produce excellent products but have a less prominent presence among Serie A goalkeepers: Puma and Nike. Both have few representatives in the Italian league—but as they say in Italy, “pochi, ma buoni” (“few, but very good”). For Puma, Audero and Buffon both use the Puma One for their gloves and boots. For Nike, Strakosha and Silvestri rely on the Nike Vapor Grip, one of the American brand’s most renowned models and a benchmark for many professional goalkeepers.
