Fabio Miretti is expected to leave Juventus during the current transfer window as he is not considered a major part of Luciano Spalletti’s long-term plans, with the manager set to remain in charge of the Bianconeri for the foreseeable future.
The midfielder graduated from the club’s Next Gen system, meaning any transfer fee received for him would represent pure profit for Juventus. As a result, the club have placed him on the market, with Genoa and Lecce already showing interest in securing his signature this summer.
Miretti had hoped to establish himself as an important member of the squad after returning from a long-term injury last season, but he struggled to secure a consistent role within the team despite featuring in several matches across the campaign.
Juventus planning midfield changes
Although Miretti remains a talented player with strong technical ability, he has not done enough to convince Spalletti that he fits the tactical structure the manager wants to implement at Juventus moving forward.
The Bianconeri already have plans to strengthen their midfield during the summer window, which has increased uncertainty surrounding Miretti’s future at the Allianz Stadium. Competition for places is expected to become even stronger if new signings arrive before the start of the next campaign.
Juventus are therefore prepared to listen to offers, particularly as the player continues to struggle for regular game time. The club believe a permanent move elsewhere may provide him with the best opportunity to continue his development and rebuild consistency after his injury setback.
Villarreal enters the race for Miretti
Interest in the midfielder is continuing to grow, and according to Gianluca Di Marzio, Villarreal have now entered the race for his signature ahead of the new season.
The Spanish side is reportedly preparing for the departure of Thomas Partey as a free agent, which would create space within their squad for another midfielder. Miretti has emerged as a possible target as Villarreal look to strengthen their options in the centre of the pitch.
With several clubs now monitoring his situation, Juventus could soon receive formal proposals as discussions surrounding Miretti’s future continue to develop this summer.
