Barcelona currently has its eyes on Juventus winger Federico Chiesa. Chiesa’s market value is estimated at about €35 million, but Juventus is willing to sell him for just €15 million this summer due to his contract expiration next season.
SPORT reported that Juventus offered Chiesa a new contract similar to those given to Frenkie de Jong and Clement Lenglet by Barcelona, featuring reduced salaries and postponed payments. Chiesa turned down this offer, refusing to accept a pay cut and his desire to join Barcelona.
Thiago Motta’s confirmation that Chiesa is not in his plans has prompted Juventus to seek a sale this summer to prevent losing him on a free transfer next year, resulting in the reduced price offer.
This situation gives Barcelona the opportunity to acquire an outstanding talent, potentially at a significantly lower cost considering Chiesa’s true value.
The potential transfer of Chiesa to Barcelona is gaining momentum, indicating a probable deal. It will be intriguing to observe how this unfolds and whether Chiesa will be part of Hansi Flick’s squad in the upcoming season.
