FC Barcelona are not planning to give up on Federico Chiesa. The Barça board is working to secure the signing of the Juventus winger in the coming days. The 26-year-old Italian is the best low-cost option on the market and they should take advantage of the fact that the Bianconeri are practically giving the player away, after Thiago Motta decided not to sign him.
These have been days of many rumours and expectations. Juventus would prefer to sell him to Barça because they are not a direct rival, at least not in Serie A. Let us remember that Inter and Atalanta were following in their footsteps, but the Turin board was not thinking of letting him go to a rival Italian team. The Blaugrana club believes it can take care of the transfer, with an expected offer of 13 million euros with bonuses included. All this after the departure of Mika Faye to Stade Rennais.
From Italy they claim that Barcelona can sign Chiesa
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Italia, the Catalan club is confident of closing the deal very soon. Chiesa is a fan of the club and would be willing to lower his salary to play in Barcelona, so it is a step forward in relation to the competition. Another thing that is in favour of the Catalans is that Juventus have already closed the signings of two wingers: Nico González and Francisco Conceiçao, so now they will work to put an end to the Italian's story in Turin.
If they close the signing of Chiesa, the Italians will look to sign Jadon Sancho from Manchester United. Therefore, they would be willing to accept up to 10 million euros for the winger who is out of their plans and who is very excited about starting a new adventure in Europe, this time wearing the Barça shirt. With the departures of Clement Lenglet and Vitor Roque practically complete, everything seems to be lining up for Barcelona to secure their second signing of the summer.
