The future of Federico Chiesa at Juventus hangs in the balance due to a poor second half of the season and a short-term contract, as it runs out in 2025. The recent events at the club might favor his permanence. The potential sacking of Massimiliano Allegri, in the coming weeks or at the end of the season, would increase its likelihood, Calciomercato relays.
The attacker would like to have a starring role and prefers playing on the wing. The Bianconeri have fared poorly every time they have tried something different from 3-5-2. They deployed 4-3-3 from the start against Lazio. While he had a solid showing, the rest of the squad struggled, and the gaffer walked it back at halftime.
If Juventus hired a manager with different schemes and ideas, Chiesa would have better chances of staying put. The hierarchy has been trying to renew his contract. They would be content with a one-year renewal at his current numbers to kick the can down the road and have more leverage on the transfer market.
On the other hand, the former Fiorentina star believes he is in line for a pay bump considering some promises made by the previous management. He has scored seven goals this campaign but just one in the last eight fixtures.
Our Take on Juventus and Chiesa
The last match was emblematic of their tactical conundrum and also of a poorly constructed squad. The status quo would be a disservice to their offensive talent.
