Attributed to original sourceMultiple outlets in Italy are reporting that Juventus and Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas are in direct negotiations over a potential deal for midfielder Fabio Miretti and that the two sides are currently discussing the ‘formula’ of the transfer.
Juventus discussing Miretti sale with Besiktas Juventus have already added Randal Kolo Muani, Kerim Alajbegovic, Guglielmo Vicario, Jhon Lucumi, Jeff Ekhator and Zeki Celik to their ranks this summer but are still hoping to add a few more signings to the list before the close of the transfer window.
“In general we’ve had a good transfer market, some areas need a few cosmetic changes, others entire restoration projects ,” said head coach Luciano Spalletti during a press conference on Saturday.
In order for those new signings to come in, other players must first be sold, and according to the latest updates, Miretti could be one of those players that ends up on the chopping block.
According to reports from various sources on Sunday including Sky Sport Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio , Juventus are in direct discussions with Besiktas to discuss the sale of Miretti.

What happened
Juventus and Besiktas have opened negotiations over the transfer of Fabio Miretti, a one-cap Italy international midfielder. The 22-year-old, who came through Juventus' youth system, has struggled for consistent playing time in Turin and is now being targeted by the Turkish club. Details of the potential deal, including fee and structure, have not yet been disclosed as talks continue between the two clubs.
Chance analysis
A move for Miretti would give Besiktas a young, technically gifted Italian international with Serie A experience, addressing a midfield area where they've lacked depth. For Juventus, offloading Miretti would free up wage space and a registration spot, though losing another homegrown academy product carries symbolic weight after several high-profile departures of recent years. The outcome hinges on whether Besiktas can meet Juventus' valuation and Miretti's personal terms.
Besiktas would gain a young Italy international midfielder; Juventus would free up a squad spot and wage budget if the deal completes.
