Liverpool, Newcastle and Bayern ‘set to battle it out to sign Juventus winger Frederico Chiesa’
Liverpool, Newcastle and Bayern ‘set up battle to sign Juventus winger Frederico Chiesa’… with the Italian giants putting ‘a £38 million price tag’ on the wanton star
- Frederico Chiesa is reportedly unhappy at Juventus after a difficult season
- The winger struggled after being sidelined for 10 months with an injury
- Juve are listening to offers in the region of £40 million for the Italian star
Liverpool, Newcastle and Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in a move to Frederico Chiesa this summer with the Italian winger reportedly ‘unhappy’ at Juventus.
Chiesa, one of the stars of Italy’s Euro 2021 triumph, had a difficult season after returning from an anterior cruciate ligament injury that kept him out for nearly 10 months.
He started just six league games and scored four goals in his 33 appearances in all competitions.
And Il Corriere dello Sport claims he is open to the idea of joining a new club, as he no longer feels “center of the project” in Turin.
Liverpool, Newcastle and Bayern Munich will compete for Frederico Chiesa
Liverpool have been keeping a close eye on the player for some time, while Newcastle United and Bayern have recently expressed interest.
The Italian newspaper says Juve have set an asking price of £38 million, but they will no doubt hope to spark a bidding war between the three clubs.
Chiesa has two years left on his current contract earning him £154,000 a week.
The report also adds that Juve have started looking for replacements, with Nicolo Zaniolo and Wilfried Gnonto being considered.
Chiesa had a rough campaign after returning from an injury that kept him out for 10 months
Chiesa joined The Old Lady in 2022 on a two-year loan with a £35 million option to buy at the end of those 24 months.
Juventus exercised that option last May as the player was recovering from his serious injury.
