Intermediaries have reportedly offered Barcelona the chance to sign 26-year-old Juventus attacker Federico Chiesa, a target for Manchester United.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Federico Chiesa is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are keen on signing a wide attacker, with the Juventus winger emerging as a target. However, Barcelona will have the chance to land the 26-year-old, with intermediaries offering him to the Blaugrana.
The rise and fall of Federico Chiesa
Federico Chiesa has reached a crossroads in his career after Thiago Motta announced an impending departure for him. The former Fiorentina talisman was excellent for the Bianconeri in his first two seasons at the Allianz Stadium. However, he has not been at his best since completing the permanent move to Juventus.
The 26-year-old blew hot and cold in the 2023/24 season, managing only ten goals and three assists in 37 appearances across all competitions. In addition, Chiesa blew hot and cold at UEFA Euro 2024, and that might have been the final nail in the coffin for him.
With Motta announcing the Italian international does not have a future at the Allianz Stadium, a new adventure beckons. However, Chiesa does not have a shortage of suitors pursuing his signature, with recent reports linking him with several high-profile Premier League clubs, including Manchester United. In addition, intermediaries have offered him to Barcelona.
What next?
Manchester United’s interest in Federico Chiesa is understandable. The Red Devils have failed to fix the long-standing right-wing issue, with Jadon Sancho and Antony failing to make their mark in the position. So, Chiesa has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Barcelona can do with a player of Federico Chiesa’s qualities. The Catalan giants are in a spot of bother after failing to land Nico Williams. So, Chiesa is an option worth considering for Barcelona, although it is unclear how they will respond to the offer to sign the 26-year-old.
With the Italian international not in Thiago Motta’s plans, time is running out for him to find his next destination. It will be interesting to see where Chiesa lands in the coming weeks as he looks to embark on a new adventure.
