Genoa veteran Goran Pandev says Mattia Perin deserves to play on a bigger stage.

The goalkeeper is in talks with Juventus this week.

And Pandev said of his teammate: "I do not have to advise him anything, I can say I was three years with him, he's a great goalkeeper, he deserves to play in the Champions League."

Perin is being lined up to join Juve to replace Gigi Buffon.
