This summer, Fabio Miretti’s future was surrounded by uncertainty, with several clubs expressing strong interest — most notably Napoli.
However, according to Corriere dello Sport, Juventus has made it clear that the young midfielder will remain in Turin for the upcoming season. Miretti, who recently turned 22, spent last season on loan at Genoa. And he delivered three goals and three assists in 25 Serie A appearances.

His impressive contribution fueled speculation about a potential sale, especially as Juventus looked to balance their finances. Napoli was even reported to be preparing a €14 million offer before a pre-season muscular injury put any talks on hold.
On August 9, Juventus management, along with Miretti’s agent Giovanni Branchini, confirmed their decision: Miretti is staying. Branchini compared his client’s path to club legends Claudio Marchisio and Paolo De Ceglie, who also returned stronger after loan spells early in their careers.
With Douglas Luiz expected to join Nottingham Forest and Arthur Melo likely on the move more opportunities could open up for the homegrown star to secure regular minutes in Serie A and European competitions.
Ready to make his mark
Miretti’s journey is an example of Juventus’ commitment to nurturing academy talent rather than rushing to sell. Having already earned a senior cap for Italy, the midfielder is keen to build on that momentum and prove himself on the biggest stage.

His development over the past year has been notable, combining greater tactical awareness with improved attacking instincts. If given consistent playing time, Miretti could become a vital asset in Juventus’ midfield rotation this season.
By keeping Miretti, Juventus not only strengthens its squad depth. But also sends a clear message about its belief in young talent. Supporters will now be watching closely to see whether Miretti can follow in the footsteps of Marchisio. And transforming from a promising academy graduate into a central figure for the Bianconeri.
