Juventus is set to sell Federico Chiesa this summer for just €25m (£21.8m), despite past interest from Premier League teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool. The 26-year-old winger has been on the sidelines for a significant portion of the last two seasons due to injury issues, including an ACL problem that has marred his time at Juventus.
Despite scoring 32 goals in 132 appearances and seven goals in 51 caps for Italy, Chiesa has not been part of new head coach Thiago Motta’s plans for the upcoming season. His time at Juventus has come to an end, and the club is not planning to extend his contract.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus’ asking price for Chiesa includes add-ons, and a sale is expected to happen this summer. It remains to be seen which club will secure the services of the talented winger, who has proven himself on both the domestic and international stages.
Chiesa was a key player for Italy during their Euro 2020 triumph and earned a spot in the Team of the Tournament. His departure from Juventus marks the end of an era for one of Italy’s most promising young players.
Italian football fans will be disappointed to see Chiesa leave Juventus, but they can take comfort in knowing that he is likely to find success elsewhere. With his talent and experience on both domestic and international stages, it will be interesting to see where he ends up next season.
