Federico Chiesa has had a torrid season due to injury, and his Juventus hardly had an enjoyable time either. Juve need cash, and Chiesa is one of the potential sources of income, which would give some peace to the black-and-white accountants. So, will the winger leave? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lucia Bramani (@lucybramani) Chiesa is currently on holiday with his supermodel girlfriend, Lucia Bramani. They are spending romantic moments in Sardinia, but the star footballer must be thinking about what the future holds for his professional career. Newcastle United, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern are the clubs interested in Chiesa – at least according to the reputable La Gazzetta Dello Sport. It’s no wonder the Magpies have been linked with some top players, considering their wealthy ambitious owners and the fact they’ve qualified for the Champions League for the first time in two decades. ##EDITORS_CHOICE##After buying the Sandro Tonali from AC Milan sparing no expense, the club owned by the PIF – the Saudi Arabian investment fund – has targeted other Serie A players: the Rossoneri captain Theo Hernandez and Chiesa. The Arabs certainly don’t lack money and could easily satisfy both Juventus and the player. The Old Lady has set the price at $65 million, which is how much the blue winger was paid to Fiorentina in October 2020. Chiesa is back from a tough season, strongly conditioned by the after-effects of the ACL surgery, in which he collected 33 appearances and four goals. Chiesa doesn’t have a great relationship with Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri, but what worries him is, above all, the tactical misunderstanding. Allegri’s 3-5-2 formation last year meant Chiesa was used either as a second striker or a full-back, while he prefers to play on either wing in the 4-3-3 formation. Incidentally, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe almost exclusively uses the 4-3-3.In addition, there is the question of the renewal, which is in a stalemate. It is not a priority for Juventus at the moment and they have no intention of raising his salary (he earns $5.5 million per year). However, with the contract expiring in 2025, the more market sessions pass, the more there is the risk of losing the star player on the cheap.##NAJAVA_MECA_7347755##For all these reasons, Chiesa’s stay in Turin isn’t sure. In the wealthy Premier League, clubs have sufficient financial resources to guarantee him a tempting contract, i.e. from $8 million upwards. However, Newcastle are not the only one to have their eyes on the Italian trickster. There are also Liverpool and Aston Villa. None of the three has formalized a real offer to Juventus yet, but there have already been expressions of interest.Newcastle have the advantage of offering the player the chance to play in the Champions League. Liverpool will play in the Europa League but have the charm of the historic club on their side and Jurgen Klopp’s presence on the bench, a coach who greatly respects Federico. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, on the other hand, which qualified for the Europa Conference League like Juventus, is a destination that does not appeal to Chiesa all that much.🚨Aston Villa have had an offer rejected for Juventus’ Federico Chiesa today. The player is not convinced about joining the club.

The evaluation of the player varies from $55 million (Newcastle and Aston Villa) to $45 million (Liverpool). Premier League aside, there are also other clubs to keep an eye on Chiesa: Bayern Munich, who had already sought him out in the past (in 2021, when Juventus still considered him untouchable) and PSG, which, however, must sell before being able to buy. If Chiesa were to leave, Juventus could turn to Nicolo Zaniolo, a name that returns to every transfer window for the Bianconeri: from one Italian international to another.
