Juventus are prepared to sell Fabio Miretti this summer, with Bologna offering €14 million for the midfielder as the Bianconeri race to generate roughly €13 million in capital gains before the June 30th financial year close, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The capital gain is not optional: Continassa must close the 2025/26 books within the established trajectory toward break-even in 2027/28, and the club is still awaiting official confirmation of a renewed settlement agreement with UEFA in the coming days. Giovanni Carnevali’s first meaningful act as Juventus’s transfer authority will therefore be financial rather than sporting.
Miretti Situation and the Bologna Proposal
Miretti, a Continassa academy product who signed a contract extension to 2028, spent last season on a 12-month loan at Genoa with no buy option – a move designed to protect his value while keeping him sharp. The positive spell drew attention from Napoli among others, with Juventus previously setting an asking price in the €15–20 million range during those conversations. Bologna’s current €14 million proposal sits at the lower end of that band, though La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the 22-year-old is keen on the move and is seeking the regular game time Juventus cannot guarantee him.
Bologna are also pushing to insert Jhon Lucumí into a broader negotiation. The Colombian left-footed defender carries a €28 million release clause activatable in July, and Bologna would offer a discount on that figure as part of a combined deal. Continassa’s position is predictable: keep costs as low as possible, which means Lucumí’s valuation remains a sticking point and Juventus are simultaneously listening to alternative offers to keep their options open.
Broader Summer Picture
The Miretti situation is one piece of a wider restructuring exercise at Juventus this window. Andrea Cambiaso has also been made available, underlining that the squad is being reshaped with financial discipline as the primary driver. On the incoming side, Jonathan David is understood to want to remain at the club, offering some stability in the forward line as business elsewhere accelerates.
Whether Bologna formalise their proposal quickly enough to meet the June 30th deadline – and whether Juventus accept Lucumí at a reduced valuation or hold out for a cleaner cash sale – will define how smoothly Carnevali completes his first piece of FFP housekeeping.

David can go. He’s not worth keeping. He’s not a striker. He’s not a winger. He’s not a midfielder. He’s position less. With a clear way to contribute consistently. We’ve had years of inconsistency in the forward line. This needs to be addressed.
Tell me who is worthy of staying. Yildiz played like a Shinter after renew. Bremer is not as solid as before.
I only have a list of players must leave. Top of the list is Shinter Loca, he’s not the worst but the major bottleneck. He can’t control the tempo, can’t dribble, can’t shoot/score, can’t get forward whenever possible, terrible as a captain.
Loca isn’t terrible, but yes he did not play well after renewing. The problem there is there was no squad depth to replace him when he went out of form. This is something that has plagued us for years. All the transfers that have been made to fix these problems have failed (Luiz, Koop). Same can be said for the front line. (David, Openda). Same with the wing (Gonzalez). And Vlahovic being healthy for half this time here also didn’t help. I wouldn’t say any of these players are untouchable. Even Yildiz. Just a lot of mediocre or inconsistent players for this current squad.
