Federico Chiesa has a few surprise suitors waiting for him if he intends to leave Juventus sooner rather than later. The former Fiorentina forward suffered a long-term ACL injury that sidelined him for majority of the 2022/23 season, but increasing game time means Chiesa is closer to being back to his best.
As per La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Tuttomercatoweb), Bayern Munich have already tested the waters, enquiring with the Bianconeri for Chiesa’s availability in the summer. Chiesa is also on Arsenal, Newcastle United and Liverpool’s radar, with the player being available for a cut-price of no less than €35M – according to La Repubblica.
The 25-year-old forward will see his Bianconeri contract expire in the summer of 2025. With two years left on his stay, talks of renewal haven’t yet come forward, as it is understood that the player’s entourage are asking for too high a figure in terms of salary and bonuses.
There’s friction between Chiesa and Juventus due to his agent requesting a new contract at €8M per season, This request angered many at the club. Juve have not started any negotiations for the extension. Chiesa currently earns €5M a year until 2025. (@Gazzetta_it) ? pic.twitter.com/QOQGGF21CC

The deciding factor for Chiesa would ultimately be his side’s exclusion from the Champions League due to their point deduction, which means Juventus will take part in the Conference League after finishing in 7th place.
