After the end of this agreement, the Portuguese club had the opportunity to fully buy the player's rights for 6 million euros, but they decided not to do so and extended the loan agreement for another year.
Meanwhile, one of the biggest scandals in football history is currently shaking "Juventus", which faces relegation to "Serie B" or even "Serie C", wants to reclaim Miccoli, as the club will inevitably lose many of its stars when dropping to a lower league.
