Weston McKennie’s return to the Juventus squad has cast doubt on Fabio Miretti’s future with the team. The young midfielder, born in 2003, has already expressed concerns about staying at Juve, especially after a season with limited playing time. With McKennie back and the arrival of Teun Koopmeiners, along with new faces like Marcus Thuram and Douglas Luiz, as well as established players Manuel Locatelli and Nicolo Fagioli, Miretti may find it challenging to secure significant minutes on the pitch.
Miretti, along with his representatives, has communicated his desire for more consistent playing time, which he believes is crucial for his development. He wants to avoid another season of sporadic appearances, aiming to grow as a player. Thiago Motta holds Miretti in high regard, a sentiment reflected in Juventus’ recent decision to renew his contract until 2028.
Unless a compelling offer comes in that makes Juventus reconsider selling him, the most likely scenario for Miretti appears to be a loan move. This arrangement would provide him with valuable experience elsewhere, allowing him to return next summer with a stronger position in the club’s plans. A path similar to that of Soulé seems to be on the table, giving Miretti the chance to step out of the familiar environment where he has been since he was nine years old and gain new experiences.
Genoa seems particularly interested in offering him a year of development, but both Monza and Empoli are also in the mix, hoping to secure the talented midfielder for the upcoming season.
