La Liga outfit Villarreal are expressing an interest in a summer deal for a member of the midfield ranks at Italian heavyweights Juventus.
The Bianconeri star in the sights of those in the boardroom at La Cerámica? Fabio Miretti.
Youngster Miretti is fresh off something of a hit-and-miss season on the books of the aforementioned Juventus. After returning from a year on loan with Genoa, the 22-year-old was afforded 31 appearances across all competitions.
Along the way, he chipped in with a goal and three assists.
Miretti, though, never quite managed to carve out a starting berth for himself, with the bulk of his appearances having come from the bench.
It has in turn been rumoured that the once-capped Italian international is available for transfer this summer.
And as alluded to above, amongst those expressing an interest in taking advantage of this situation are Villarreal.
As per a report from transfer market insider Gianluca Di Marzio, the Yellow Submarine, amid an ongoing search for midfield reinforcements, have earmarked Miretti as a potential addition.
Also hot on the trail of the youngster, meanwhile, are Serie A side Bologna.
