Federico Chiesa’s agents have suggested a move to Liverpool and Newcastle United for the winger, as a Juventus exit seems likely.
According to HITC, Liverpool and Newcastle United were contacted by Federico Chiesa’s agents and intermediaries to sound out a summer move. The 26-year-old attacker moves into the final year of his contract at Juventus, as an exit from the club could become the most likely outcome in the summer.
Federico Chiesa’s situation at Juventus
Juventus consider Federico Chiesa as an essential player for the present and the future, yet there has been no outcome to the prolonged contract talks with his camp. The 26-year-old attacker moves into the final year of his deal in the summer, as an immediate resolution to a new deal seems unlikely at this stage.
The club does not want to put incoming manager Thiago Motta in a position where he has to deal with transfer speculation surrounding the winger. Hence, there’s a huge chance the club will decide to sell him and not let him run down his contract, as they can still achieve important money from Chiesa’s sale should he leave in the summer.
Juventus will demand a good enough fee despite Chiesa’s minimal remaining contract, as they do not want to let him leave on a free transfer next summer. His agents and intermediaries are hard at work trying to find a new club and may have sounded out a move to Liverpool or Newcastle United.
Liverpool, and Newcastle United could move for Chiesa
Chiesa is a wonderful player, and many teams would readily take him in their teams, although the player might have an idea to play in England. Interest from the Premier League is nothing new, as Liverpool showed an interest during Jurgen Klopp’s time, while Newcastle United were recently considered front runners for his signature.
Should Mohamed Salah leave, it does leave space for a new wide attacker to join this Liverpool side under new boss Arne Slot. They are linked with other stars like Pedro Neto, Johan Bakayoko, and Mohammed Kudus, but Chiesa’s availability at a potentially decent price could change the game for Liverpool. The Reds have watched him consistently, with observers present during the recent Coppa Italia Final.
Newcastle United are hoping their recent good connection in Italy could do them another favour with the transfer of Chiesa. The presence of Sandro Tonali might prove significant in the context of this chase, as the 26-year-old attacker might see a career at St James Park should the conditions favour a move.
