Chelsea and Manchester United make offers to sign Federico Chiesa
According to the Spanish media SportJuventus star Federico Chiesa has received offers from Chelsea and Manchester United ahead of the transfer deadline.
The Italy international has entered the final year of his contract with the Serie A giants and manager Thiago Motta has admitted the winger will be sold this summer. SportThe 26-year-old has received offers from Chelsea and Manchester United, but has yet to agree a deal with either club.
Chiesa has an apparent preference for playing in the Spanish top flight and Barcelona They could be candidates. The La Liga heavyweights want to bring in another winger before the transfer window closes and are currently studying the option of signing Chiesa, who is available for a reduced fee of just under £13m, according to the report.
Late move
Chiesa has established himself as one of the best wingers in Serie A. However, his time in Turin is coming to an end, after rejecting a new contract earlier this year. Chelsea have already signed Pedro Neto to strengthen their attacking area and are also expected to announce the arrival of João Félix.
Despite this, we cannot rule out the London giants signing Chiesa. The Italian star has the ability to play both on the wings and up front. With a low price tag involved, they could push for a deal if Raheem Sterling leaves the club. The Englishman was left out of manager Enzo Maresca's squad last weekend.
Meanwhile, United could also be serious candidates to sign Chiesa if they convince him to move to Premier LeagueThe Red Devils have agreed to sell Facundo Pellistri to Panathinaikos while there is a 60% chance Jadon Sancho could leave, according to respected journalist Fabricius of Rome.
The departure of both could encourage United to seek a deal with Chiesa. The 26-year-old, who is “world class” according to Alessandro Pierinicould be a smart signing after overcoming his injury problems. Chiesa missed just 6 games through injury last season. He registered 10 goals and 3 assists.
