Juventus to move for Fiorentina forward Chiesa

The Bianconeri are keen to secure the services of the winger as they again look to do business with their Serie A rivals
Juventus are interested in signing Fiorentina winger Federico Chiesa, Goal understands.

The 21-year-old can play on both the left and the right and has been liked with a number of elite European clubs.

Both Chelsea and Liverpool are reportedly interested, while Napoli and Inter are likely to rival Juve if they formalize their interest.

Chiesa is unlikely to be sold in January, with any transfer likely to come in the summer.

Fiorentina value the youngster at up to €70 million (£62m/$79m) after he became an indispensable part of Fiorentina's XI in Serie A.

Chiesa has already made 85 appearances for the Viola, scoring 12 goals and provided 17 assists, while he has also won 11 caps for Italy.

Juve has previously shopped at Fiorentina, snapping up Federico Bernardeschi in 2017 for a fee of £35m.

In June, Chiesa's father claimed that he would remain at the club for the duration of the season, but it remains to be seen if Juventus' interest will change his mind.

"Now he has to think about the national team because it represents a great satisfaction for him," Enrico Chiesa told reporters.

"For the rest [transfer rumors], he has a contract and he is very happy. Now he focuses on the national team and then from Monday think about enjoying a month off because he deserves it.
