If Miretti leaves, Juventus has found his replacment

Gianni Balzarini, speaking on his YouTube channel, shed light on a potential domino effect involving Juventus, Fabio Miretti, and Lazar Samardzic, outlining a scenario that could shape the Bianconeri’s midfield plans in the coming months.

According to Balzarini, attention around Fabio Miretti is growing, with Bologna reportedly entering the race for the Juventus midfielder.

However, Lazio remain the club showing the strongest and most concrete interest in the young Italian, keeping pressure high on Juventus as they evaluate their options.

Miretti’s future is far from settled, and his possible departure would not be viewed in isolation by the club’s management.

Juventus continue to carefully monitor the situation, aware that losing Miretti would require a strategic replacement rather than a simple numerical one.

The midfielder is highly regarded for his tactical intelligence and versatility, but competition for places and the need for regular playing time could push him toward a move away from Turin.

Samardzic Back on Juventus’ Radar

Balzarini emphasized that a potential exit for Miretti could reopen the door for Juventus’ long-standing interest in Lazar Samardzic.

The Serbian midfielder has been on Juventus’ radar for quite some time — even before his transfer to Atalanta.

In fact, Balzarini noted that Juventus’ admiration for Samardzic dates back not to last summer, but to the summer before that, underlining how persistent that interest has been.

At Atalanta, Samardzic is currently finding limited space, a situation that could make him a viable and appealing option should Juventus need to act.

His technical quality, creativity, and ability to operate between the lines align well with what the club could be looking for in midfield. However, Balzarini was clear on one key point: any Juventus move for Samardzic would only materialize if Miretti were to leave.

Without such a departure, the scenario remains hypothetical. Still, the connections between these players highlight how closely Juventus’ transfer plans are intertwined, with one decision potentially triggering another in a carefully balanced midfield puzzle.
