Juventus moves to retain goalkeeper Giovanni Daffara as Avellino finalises transfer deals

Juventus exercised its counter‑option to bring 21‑year‑old goalkeeper Giovanni Daffara back from Avellino after the Serie B side exercised its purchase option on defender Arthur Spadoni, signing him permanently until 2028. Avellino also thanked Daffara and forward Valerio Crespi as they depart. Lecce have identified Daffara as a primary target for the upcoming season and plan to open talks with Juventus, considering loan or permanent options. Udinese are monitoring Daffara as a possible addition while also planning replacements for departing defender Razvan Sava. Additionally, Juventus secured midfielder Giacomo Faticanti from Lecce on a long‑term deal and are reportedly discussing a Zaniolo‑related swap that could involve Daffara and Vasilije Adžić. Other Serie A clubs, including Cagliari and Lazio, are active in the market, eyeing players such as Mattia Liberali and Gianluca Gaetano.

These moves reflect a busy Italian transfer window, with clubs balancing squad reinforcement, financial considerations, and player development across Serie A and Serie B.
