Federico Chiesa’s future at Juventus has been among the major talking points this summer, with the player’s prospects in Turin still in limbo. According to Mirko Di Natale, Turkish giants Besiktas have inquired about the Italy international amid talks the 26-year-old is ready to wave goodbye to the Allianz Stadium.
Despite Besiktas’ audacious effort to sign one of Europe’s finest wingers, the unsettled Juventus star has other plans. While waiting for Thiago Motta’s decision over his future, Chiesa has set his sights on a move to the Premier League. He’s not enthusiastic about the Turkish side’s approach as he leans toward a more high-profile destination.
Chiesa’s contract at Juventus runs out in 2025. Since Motta is still undecided about the former Fiorentina forward’s place in his project, the Turin heavyweights are considering selling their prized asset. They’ve pinned a €25 million price tag on Chiesa’s head in anticipation of a potential bidding war.
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur had emerged as potential landing spots for the wantaway Juventus superstar at the beginning of the summer. But their interest has since faded, leaving the Bianconeri wondering whether they could offload Chiesa to England.
After arranging Matias Soule’s arrival, Roma are no longer interested in Chiesa. Inter could be the only viable option for the EURO 2020 winner. But they’d only sign him on a free transfer next summer. On top of that, Juventus would unlikely negotiate the sale of one of the best Serie A players with their fiercest Scudetto competitors.
