Juventus are a team full of talented youngster with some of them coming from their academy. Paul Pogba’s return to Turin hasn’t gone in the club’s favour as the player has suffered from injuries and is now facing a ban. This made them promote some of their midfield talents from the academy one of them being Fabio Miretti. The 20-year-old made a breakthrough in the first team in 2021 and had to wait for his opportunities. Miretti’s efforts finally paid off last season, when he made 40 appearances for Juventus.
Fabio Miretti is now in his second full season at the club and recently netted his first goal for the Italian giants. Juventus are looking to return to their glory days and need their youngsters to play at the top of their game. Here is a look at some of the stats of Miretti that show why this youngster is so highly rated.
