Federico Chiesa’s future is still shrouded in doubt but links to the Premier League bode well for his career as his Juventus exit nears.
The 26-year-old Italian winger has been transfer listed by the Bianconeri heading into the second month of the summer transfer window, not considered part of Thiago Motta’s new project in Turin moving forward, something that was confirmed in their recent face-to-face meeting.
Juventus fans are excited to follow Motta’s debut campaign in charge and much anticipation will be felt in the Allianz Stadium, prompting many to rush for the latest Football tickets for the 2024-25 Serie A season.
Chiesa now finds himself in a difficult spot, unwanted at Juventus but having limited options in Italy. Earlier in the summer, he was heavily linked with moves to Roma and Napoli, but the former opted to invest in Matias Soule and the latter’s interest has cooled as they focus on shipping out Victor Osimhen and bringing in Romelu Lukaku.
In recent days, Corriere dello Sport reported that the Italian winger’s agent Fali Ramadani flew to London to hold talks with Premier League clubs Tottenham and Chelsea, both of whom are keeping a close eye on his situation and are interested in a move.
Whilst his future is still uncertain heading into August, this summer seems to be the perfect time for Chiesa to make the change and take a breath of fresh air, having reached the end of a fairly tough four-year spell with Juventus.
The 26-year-old was considered to be one of the most promising up-and-coming Italians during his time with Fiorentina and his move to Turin was met with much excitement, but things ultimately didn’t go to plan with the Old Lady.
Chiesa did fairly well in his debut season with Juventus under Andrea Pirlo, scoring 15 goals and providing 11 assists across 46 matches, but this momentum wouldn’t keep up as the more pragmatic and defensively minded Massimiliano Allegri took over in the dugout the following summer.
Only months into his second campaign in Turin, the winger suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury, an issue some feel he still hasn’t truly bounced back from. He struggled to recapture his magic under Allegri and his stocks quickly began to fall in the two full seasons after his return.
Heading off to the Premier League gives Chiesa the chance to find a fresh start, allowing him to prove himself at the highest level in a more progressive environment, something that should only come as good news for the Italy national team.
