Juventus have completed the sale of goalkeeper Giovanni Daffara to Parma, with the two clubs having reached full agreement on a deal that now awaits only the formal official announcement.
A Permanent Move Worth €5 Million
Daffara, born in 2004, has joined Parma on a permanent basis for a fee of €5 million. Notably, the agreement does not include any buy-back clause for Juventus — a clean, complete sale that severs the player’s ties to his boyhood club entirely.
The move brings to an end a development pathway that began in the Biellese youth system before Daffara progressed through Juventus’s own academy ranks. Last season, on loan at Avellino in Serie B, he produced an outstanding individual campaign, playing a central role in the club’s run to the play-offs before their eventual elimination at the hands of Catanzaro.
A Fresh Start in Serie A
The move represents a significant step up for the young goalkeeper, who will now compete for a first-team place under manager Carlos Cuesta at the Stadio Tardini. After weeks of contact and negotiation between the two clubs, the deal has finally been concluded — handing Daffara the opportunity to establish himself at the top level of Italian football with Parma’s yellow and blue.
What It Means for Juventus
For Juventus, the sale represents a small but useful piece of housekeeping amid a summer dominated by far larger and more complex negotiations — Kolo Muani, Lucumí, Martínez, Vlahović, and the ongoing goalkeeper search involving Vicario and now Svilar. Every clean sale matters in the context of the club’s broader UEFA Settlement Agreement obligations, and Daffara’s departure, whilst modest in scale, adds another contribution to the capital gains Giovanni Carnevali is working to generate before the financial year closes. For the player himself, it offers something potentially more valuable than any fee: a genuine pathway to regular senior football.
