Juventus will reportedly offer 26-year-old Italian international Federico Chiesa in the deal to sign Mason Greenwood from Manchester United.
According to a report by Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus will aim to drive down the asking price for Mason Greenwood by offering Federico Chiesa as part of the deal. The Serie A giants are keen on signing the controversial Manchester United academy graduate but do not want to break the bank to secure his services.
Mason Greenwood, Federico Chiesa and their situations
Mason Greenwood has been a controversial figure in the footballing world in the last few years. The Englishman was a promising prospect during his days in the youth division at Manchester United. However, issues of domestic violence threatened to derail his career before he resurrected it during a loan spell at Getafe in the 2023/24 season.
The 22-year-old was excellent for Getafe in the 2023/24 campaign, contributing to 16 goals while winning the Spanish club’s Player of the Year award. However, he does not have a future at Manchester United, with the Red Devils ready to cash in on him in the summer transfer window.
As for Federico Chiesa, he has overcome a few fitness issues to become a regular for Juventus. The 26-year-old Italian international chipped in with ten goals and three assists in 39 appearances across all competitions. However, the Serie A giants are ready to cash in on him in the summer transfer window.
Part-exchange deal on the horizon?
The latest report has revealed that Juventus might offer Federico Chiesa in a part-exchange deal to sign Mason Greenwood. The Manchester United academy graduate has been a target for the Bianconeri for a few weeks. However, the transfer fee poses a problem for Juventus due to the club’s precarious financial situation.
So, offering Chiesa in a part-exchange deal to sign the 22-year-old might be a masterstroke, considering Manchester United might need a replacement. The 26-year-old Italian can also be the long-sought right-wing solution for the Premier League heavyweights.
If Manchester United accept Chiesa as part of the deal, Juventus can save a lot of money. It will be interesting to see if Greenwood moves to the Allianz Stadium in a part-exchange arrangement in the summer transfer window.
