Juventus’s summer rebuild continues to gather pace on several fronts, with reports linking Fiorentina to a move for midfielder Fabio Miretti, while the Viola are also said to be considering both Filip Kostić and Matteo Ruggeri as they reshape their own squad under sporting director Fabio Paratici.
Paratici Targets Miretti for Fiorentina
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Fiorentina’s sporting director Fabio Paratici has identified Fabio Miretti as a potential addition to his midfield, with the Italian international expected to leave Juventus this summer. Bologna are also reported to be following the player’s situation closely.
Miretti, born in 2003, is contracted to Juventus until June 2028 on wages of just €1 million net per year — making him the lowest-paid outfield player in the first-team squad, with only third-choice goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio earning less. Despite his modest salary, Miretti has made 106 appearances for the bianconeri, scoring 3 goals and providing 8 assists whilst picking up 10 yellow cards and winning a Coppa Italia.
A graduate of Juventus’s youth academy, Miretti progressed through every level of the Italian national team setup from Under-15 to Under-21. He earned his senior international debut on 20 November 2022 in a 2-0 defeat to Austria, introduced from the bench in the 90th minute by then-manager Roberto Mancini in place of Inter’s Nicolò Barella.
Fiorentina’s Wider Plans: Kostić and Ruggeri Also on the Radar
The Miretti link is part of a broader picture of activity at Fiorentina, with Paratici reportedly preparing a significant reshaping of the Viola squad this summer. Both Filip Kostić, the experienced Serbian wide player, and Matteo Ruggeri, the Atletico Madrid left-back also linked with Juventus, have been mentioned as potential targets as Fiorentina look to strengthen across several positions.
The Bigger Picture for Juventus
For Juventus, a potential sale of Miretti would represent a relatively low-value but symbolically significant departure — clearing space and a squad number for a player who, despite his pedigree as a academy graduate and full international, has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter. With the club simultaneously navigating high-profile pursuits of Dibu Martínez and Alexander Sorloth, smaller deals like this one help create the financial and squad-management flexibility Juventus need as their summer rebuild continues to take shape under new chief executive Giovanni Carnevali.
