In football, things usually go very quickly. Star of Juventus and Italy three years ago when he won Euro 2020 in the summer of 2021, Federico Chiesa (26 years old) seemed to be at the top. Unfortunately for him, a cruciate ligament rupture in January 2022 put a stop to his career. Absent until October 2022, he subsequently became more fragile with 12 injuries since his return for 120 days of absence (27 matches). If his last season with the Vecchia Signora remains honorable (10 goals and 3 offerings in 37 matches), Federico Chiesa is still chasing his best level.

Coming one year from the end of his contract, Federico Chiesa has also been defined as leaving by Juventus. Indeed, the Piedmont club intends to recover a nice check by selling him and has estimated his price at 60 million euros initially. Followed from a distance by Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, he has still not left. Questioned on this subject, Thiago Motta recently brushed aside this issue: “At the moment Federico is part of Juventus, then we will see what happens.»

Federico Chiesa has already turned down two clubs

If Juventus will have to revise its demands downwards, the proposals that have arrived so far are not considered satisfactory by Federico Chiesa. As highlighted Tuttosportthe Saudi team Al-Ahli tried its luck to compensate for the departure of Allan Saint-Maximin to Fenerbahçe. Despite a salary proposal that could be around 15 to 20 million euros, Federico Chiesa does not want to listen to any exotic offer.

Moreover, the Turkish team Besiktas, which has already recruited Ciro Immobile, has also positioned itself and made contacts, but this has not moved Federico Chiesa. The former Fiorentina player did not even take into consideration the phone call from the Besiktas management. Federico Chiesa wants to play in the Champions League next season at all costs, whether with Juventus or another club. This is also why he is stalling and seems open to collaborating with Thiago Motta. For its part, Juventus is impatient and still wants to make a big sale with Federico Chisea.
