Juventus and Milan are competing for Bologna’s forward, but there’s a third contender

Juventus isn’t the only club on Juan Miranda’s trail. The Bologna left back has also caught the attention of Milan and Newcastle, who are closely monitoring the Spaniard’s development. In particular, the English club has already made initial inquiries to gauge the feasibility of a potential deal, while the Rossoneri continue to track a player they could have signed on a free transfer in the summer of 2024.

Bologna came out on top; thanks to the efforts of Giovanni Sartori and Marco Di Vaio, they managed to secure a fullback now considered one of the most promising in European soccer. The stats confirm Miranda’s excellent performance; he has already recorded six assists so far this season. No other player in Serie A has done better in terms of key passes, a statistic that explains why his name has ended up in the notebooks of several clubs.

Among them is, above all, Juventus, which intends to provide Luciano Spalletti with a new left-back. The Bianconeri coach is looking for a quality player capable of supporting the offensive build-up and providing constant pressure down the wing—qualities that align with those of Miranda, who has long been tracked by Juventus scouts and consistently receives positive evaluations in their reports.

Juventus had already made an inquiry in August but received a negative response from Sartori. However, their interest has not waned, and the Turin-based club’s management is reportedly considering a new attempt as early as the upcoming winter transfer window.  The player’s contractual future also makes the situation particularly interesting. Miranda is under contract with Bologna through June 2028, but initial renewal talks have not yet led to an agreement. Sporting director Ricky Massara is working to extend the contract, aware that a failure to renew could force the club to consider a sale in the coming months.
