Juventus just pulled off a tidy piece of transfer business. The Italian giants bought back goalkeeper Giovanni Daffara for roughly €1 million, then flipped him to Parma for €6 million, all while securing a 10% sell-on clause that keeps them plugged into any future upside.
The mechanics of the deal
Here’s how the chain of transactions worked. Daffara, a product of Juventus’ academy, was loaned to Avellino for the 2025-26 season. Avellino, competing in Serie B, exercised a purchase option on the young goalkeeper for €500K. Juventus then activated its buy-back clause around June 21, 2026, paying approximately €1 million to bring Daffara back under their control.
With Daffara back on their books, Juventus moved quickly to negotiate a permanent transfer to Parma. The agreed fee: €6 million, plus a 10% sell-on clause. That clause means if Parma eventually sells Daffara for, say, €30 million, Juventus would pocket an additional €3 million on top of the €6 million they’ve already collected.
Born on December 5, 2004, Daffara is just 21 years old. He made 25 appearances during his loan spell at Avellino. Multiple clubs reportedly showed interest in Daffara, but most were only willing to pursue loan arrangements. Parma distinguished itself by committing to a permanent deal, which is precisely why they landed the player.
