Despite showing interest, Barcelona haven’t tabled a bid for Federico Chiesa, giving Liverpool a window of opportunity to complete the deal. Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli had dinner with his agent Fali Ramadani in Milan on Monday night, Mediaset informs.
The Blaugrana managed to register Dani Olmo thanks to Andreas Christensen’s injury but need more exits for an addition. The clock is running out for that to happen. The winger reportedly waited a day before giving his thumbs-up to the Reds.
Per Tuttomercatoweb’s Mirko Di Natale, Liverpool are in the lead for Chiesa and will soon offer €10M plus €2M add-ons. Juventus demand €15M but probably won’t negotiate too hard as they want to sell the player.
Despite the low fee, the sale to the Premier League side would avoid a Bosman departure and his permanence in Serie A. Inter were already making plans to onboard him on a free. Moreover, the Bianconeri are letting Filip Kostic decide his next destination between Al Ain, Southampton, and other potential suitors, Alfredo Pedullà relays.
If both attackers left as expected, the Old Lady would go all-in on Jadon Sancho. On the other hand, they’ll offer to pay at most half of his wages. The ball is in Manchester United’s court, Calciomercato informs. A swap with Raheem Sterling might be a more enticing proposition.
Our Take on Chiesa and Liverpool
It’d be a sound ending to a messy situation for the player, not so much for Juventus, which could have made a better effort to renew his contract. He’s reportedly not asking for exorbitant wages from his suitors.
