The Fabio Miretti chapter at Juventus is entering its final pages. According to Gazzetta.it, the transfer negotiations between the bianconeri and Besiktas are in their decisive final phase — the Turkish club having reached a broad personal agreement with the Italian midfielder and now preparing to formalise their offer to Juventus.
The Formula and What Juventus Need
The deal on the table is a loan with a right of purchase, which could convert into an obligation depending on the fulfilment of specific sporting conditions. The precise financial terms between the two clubs are the last remaining detail to be finalised — but the feeling from all parties is that the green light is imminent.
Crucially for Juventus, the objective of the operation goes beyond simply moving a surplus player. The club are specifically targeting the elimination of Miretti’s complete annual cost from the balance sheet — covering both his wage and his amortisation charge, which together represent a meaningful financial commitment for a player who has no place in Spalletti’s plans. Freeing that space, according to the article, is directly linked to one specific incoming target: Franck Kessié.
The Domino That Unlocks Kessié
The connection is explicit and direct. Miretti out to Besiktas — followed by the Koopmeiners loan that is also still being worked on — creates both the financial room and the squad list space that Kessié’s registration requires. With Roma now also entering the race for the Ivorian free agent, the urgency of completing these outgoing dominoes before 1 September has become critical.
Vincenzo Italiano’s personal desire to add Miretti — who fitted his style of play throughout his brief at Fiorentina and represents the kind of technically refined, progressive Italian midfielder the manager values — has been the key in unlocking what had been a summer-long search for the right exit. Istanbul, for the Italian academy graduate, may not have been the destination he originally envisaged. But it is a clean, meaningful, first-team opportunity. The white smoke, Calciomercato concludes, is getting very close.
