In a thrilling Serie A encounter, Genoa secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Lecce at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, taking a significant step towards safety under the guidance of Patrick Vieira. The match not only provided excitement for the jubilant home crowd but also caught the attention of several scouts, notably those representing Juventus.
Calciomercato report how Fabio Miretti, the 22-year-old midfielder on loan from Juventus, chose the perfect moment to showcase his talents. He netted his first Serie A brace, earning high praise from his coach Patrick Vieira, who described him as a complete midfielder. The Juventus observers present at the Ferraris were equally impressed, filing positive reports on the young Italian’s performance.
Miretti, who joined Genoa on a dry loan last summer, is set to return to Juventus at the end of the season. His development at Genoa has been closely monitored by the Turin giants, and this standout performance will likely strengthen his case for a place in the Juventus squad next season.
However, Miretti wasn’t the only player catching Juventus’ eye. The Bianconeri scouts were also keenly observing two other Genoa players: Danish midfielder Morten Frendrup and young Nigerian striker Jeff Ekhator, born in 2006. Both players have garnered significant interest from Cristiano Giuntoli’s scouting team at Juventus.
Frendrup, known for his versatility and work rate in midfield, has been a consistent performer for Genoa this season. Meanwhile, Ekhator represents an exciting prospect for the future, already making waves in Serie A at just 19 years old.
As the season enters its final stretch, Juventus’ continued presence at Genoa matches suggests these players could become concrete transfer targets in the near future. The Old Lady’s interest in nurturing young talent while also seeking immediate reinforcements aligns with their long-term strategy to rebuild and compete at the highest level.
With Miretti’s loan spell proving fruitful and the potential of Frendrup and Ekhator catching their eye, Juventus’ scouting mission at the Ferraris may well shape their transfer strategy in the upcoming summer window.
