Federico Chiesa will return to Turin on Tuesday after being given a few extra days of vacation as he recently got married. He’ll practice along with the athletic trainers at the Continassa center. Instead, most of the team is in Germany, more precisely at the Adidas HQ in Herzogenaurach, for the second phase of the pre-season camp, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs (via Tuttomercatoweb).
The winger came back later than other players who participated in Euro 2024. However, he’ll resume practicing, while others likely to depart, such as Wojciech Szczesny and Weston McKennie, have been given extra days to see how the market evolves. Dean Huijsen, Mattia De Sciglio, Daniele Rugani, and Arthur stayed in Italy as well. Arkadiusz Milik and Filip Kostic, who might be on their way out too, are recovering from injury. Matias Soulé made the trip despite his imminent departure.
Chiesa didn’t seem too keen on Roma when they inquired. The Giallorossi are targeting his Argentinian teammate with a lot more conviction. He’d rather move abroad, preferably to a team that plays in the Champions League. He’s on the radar of two big English sides who won’t do it in 2024/2025, Chelsea and Tottenham.
The former Fiorentina man was linked to Manchester United in previous weeks. However, the Jadon Sancho case is subsiding, making a swap more unlikely.
Juventus decided to render Chiesa available on the market since his contract is up in 2025, with little traction concerning a renewal, and because new coach Thiago Motta doesn’t consider him vital to his schemes.
