Juventus loanee suffers another injury setback
Juventus star Fabio Miretti is spending this season on loan at Genoa, having joined the club while recovering from a serious injury. The Bianconeri sent him there to gain valuable game time, as he would not have been a starter under Thiago Motta if he had stayed at the Allianz Stadium.
Miretti has been developing well since his promotion to the Juventus first team, and the club recognises that he needs to continue playing to reach his full potential. While Juventus is currently focused on the players available to them, they continue to monitor Miretti’s progress, believing he has a bright future at the Allianz Stadium.
Miretti’s debut for Genoa was initially delayed due to his injury, but he recovered in time to face his parent club. However, according to Calciomercato, Genoa has been plagued by injuries, and Miretti has now suffered another physical setback. He will be evaluated, and it remains uncertain whether this latest injury will be serious enough to keep him sidelined when club football resumes.
Miretti has a huge potential, and he needs to do well on loan to make Motta consider him for action next season.
If he flops at Genoa, Juve will send him out again at the end of the campaign.
Juventus are interested in arranging a deal with Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of former Inter centre-back Milan Skriniar, but only on a temporary loan deal and only if his current employers agree to cover part of his salary, according to Saturday’s reports.
Juventus are on the lookout for a defender to replace Gleison Bremer, who is expected to miss the majority of the 2024-25 campaign after suffering a combined ligament and meniscus injury against RB Leipzig in the Champions League last week.
However, after a busy summer transfer window, during which the Bianconeri forked out around €200m on transfer fees, the club are only likely to sign a replacement defender on a straight loan deal, and only if the wages are not too excessive.
Juventus would also like someone who is fit and available to hit the ground running in Serie A.
Skriniar ticks plenty of boxes, as he is out of favour in Paris but still match fit, having recently played the full 90 for Slovakia in their 2-2 draw against Sweden. He is also familiar with the environment in Serie A, having spent eight seasons in Italy with Sampdoria and Inter.
