Juventus bids farewell to two talented midfielders from Vinovo, but for one of them, it’s a simple goodbye while the other moves on permanently. Fabio Miretti and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, both products of the club’s youth academy, are making significant moves as the summer transfer window closes.
Miretti is heading to Genoa on a straight loan deal aimed at giving him more playing time than he would have received in Turin. This transfer comes in light of Weston McKennie’s reinstatement in the Juventus first team, which would have limited Miretti’s opportunities. The 20-year-old, currently recovering from an injury, is expected to be available for Genoa by the fourth matchday. The midfielder is keen to make his mark under coach Alberto Gilardino, especially given Thiago Motta’s high regard for him and potential future plans for Miretti.
On the other hand, Nicolussi Caviglia is making a one-way trip to Venezia. His move involves a loan with an obligation to buy, making it a more definitive exit from Juventus. The negotiations for his transfer began earlier in the transfer window, although both clubs were waiting for the right conditions to finalize the deal. This transfer will net Juventus €3.5 million upfront, with an additional €1.5 million possible in bonuses based on performance-related targets.
At just 23 years old, Nicolussi Caviglia has been with Juventus since he was eight, and he achieved his dream of winning a trophy with the first team last season when they captured the Coppa Italia. However, following an evaluation period, coach Thiago Motta decided he was not part of his plans going forward. As a result, the club has opted to sell Nicolussi Caviglia to create a substantial financial benefit, potentially adding up to €5 million to their overall balance sheet.
In summary, while Miretti embarks on a new chapter at Genoa looking to prove himself, Nicolussi Caviglia departs Juventus permanently, marking the end of his long journey with the club’s youth system.
