La Liga champions Real Madrid are monitoring the situation of Italian international Federico Chiesa amid Juventus’s recent controversy.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Federico Chiesa is on the radar of Real Madrid. Los Blancos might look to sign the Italian international in the summer transfer window amid the latest controversy plaguing Juventus. The player has a market value of €60 million.
Federico Chiesa has been one of the best wingers in Serie A for several years. A graduate of the Fiorentina academy, the 25-year-old rose to prominence during his stint with La Viola. And he has gone from strength to strength since joining Juventus, despite a long-term knee injury.
The Bianconeri initially signed the Italian international on a two-year loan deal which ended in the summer. And Juventus might not have had any qualms about signing Chiesa permanently. Meanwhile, the player has not let the long-term injury hamper him, as he has one goal and two assists in just 254 minutes of game time. And Chiesa’s progress has attracted Real Madrid.
Juventus’s latest controversy has shed light on potential departures in the summer transfer window. The Serie A giants have a mountain to climb after the 15-point penalty due to dubious financial dealings. And Chiesa, whose market value is €60 million, is one of the players who might be Juventus’s cash cow in the summer.
Real Madrid might be open to shelling out around €60 million if the Serie A giants demand a price close to his market value. And amid Juventus’s precarious financial situation, the Italian international should be well within Real Madrid’s reach. Meanwhile, the Italian international is seemingly a viable target for Los Blancos.
Eden Hazard faces an uncertain future at Real Madrid, while Marco Asensio is yet to sign a new deal. Recent reports have suggested that Los Blancos might table a three-year contract to the latter. But the two parties are no closer to agreeing to a renewal. Meanwhile, Hazard’s days as a Real Madrid player seem numbered amid his continued struggles.
Several wingers, including Exequiel Zeballos, have thus emerged on Real Madrid’s radar. And Chiesa is also an option worth considering for the reigning La Liga champions. It will be interesting to see if Juventus will need to cash in on the Italian international and if the Merengues shell out anything close to €60 million for him.
Blah, Blah, Blah. Chiesa is not going anywhere.
