Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing 25-year-old Italian international winger Federico Chiesa from Juventus.
According to a report by Corriere dello Sport via Sport Witness, Newcastle United will intensify talks to sign 25-year-old Italian international Federico Chiesa from Juventus this summer.
Chiesa has been linked with a move away from Juventus in recent weeks, and he could prove to be a quality signing for the Magpies. The Italian international is highly rated in European football, and he was expected to develop into a world-class player following his exploits at UEFA Euro 2020.
However, his progress has stalled because of persistent injury problems, although he remains an elite talent. Pursuing the 25-year-old winger for a reasonable price this summer could prove to be a wise decision from Newcastle.
His form has been underwhelming for Juventus and could be available for a knockdown price this summer. This is a great opportunity for Newcastle to snap him up on a bargain. Chiesa has the potential to develop into a top-class Premier League player, and he would certainly improve Newcastle going forward.
The Magpies had an impressive 2022/23 season, and they managed to qualify for the Champions League. However, they will need to improve the team in order to do well next season. Newcastle struggled to score goals last season and ended up drawing 14 league matches. They will be looking to improve on that front and someone like Chiesa will certainly help them.
The 25-year-old can score goals, and he will also help create goalscoring opportunities for his teammates. The Italian international will add pace, flair and creativity in the final third. Chiesa will be desperate to get his career back on track, and moving to the Premier League could give him the fresh start he needs.
If he can get over his injury problems, he could prove to be a sensational acquisition for Newcastle. He has the physicality and technical attributes to succeed in English football. Furthermore, the 25-year-old could prove to be an upgrade on players like Allan Saint-Maximin.
Meanwhile, Eddie Howe had to use Miguel Almiron as a winger last season, and the arrival of Chiesa will allow the Paraguay international to operate in his natural role as the central attacking midfielder. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can secure an agreement with Juventus in the coming weeks.
