Juventus Ace Adjusting to New Role After Odd Summer

Federico Chiesa commenced the season well, scoring two goals in the first three matches, even though he’s still getting used to his new role as a striker. Plus, the chemistry with Dusan Vlahovic is a work in progress. He came closer to departing than widely imagined, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Azzurri staple wanted to bolt because of the disappointment deriving from the past season, which he spent rehabbing an ACL tear for the most part, and his short-term contract. It’s up in 2025.

Juventus and Chiesa are starting to mull a one-year renewal to push the can down the road. In the meantime, he’ll try to replicate what Thierry Henry and Robin Van Persie did in the past. They starred on the wings early in their careers but turned into prolific strikers as they got older.

According to TuttoSport (via FootballNews24), the forward eyed move to the Premier League but didn’t find the right team to join. The extension talks will soon enter their key stages.

Our Take on Juventus and Chiesa

Sometimes he gets lost roaming around rather than staying close to the box, but there’s no reason he can’t succeed in such a position with his skills, especially in a side that likes to sit back. His wages aren’t near their soft cap yet, so an agreement is very possible.
