Arsenal have reportedly submitted a new enquiry to Serie A giants Juventus to sound out a summer transfer for winger Federico Chiesa.
The 26-year-old has found himself at the centre of transfer headlines this summer as he enters the final year of his contract in Italy. A decent Serie A showing last term, with nine goals and three assists as he bounced back from a 2022/23 campaign littered with injury problems, has also helped catch the attention of potential suitors.
Chiesa is valued at €25 million by Juventus but the club could be forced to green light a lower bid given the player’s contract situation. The forward can play on either flank or through the middle, making him a versatile asset.
The Italy international featured in all of his nation’s Euro 2024 fixtures in Germany this summer as a right winger but didn’t register a goal or assist as the country crashed out in the Round of 16 to Switzerland.
Speaking about Chiesa this week during Juventus’ pre-season preparations, manager Thiago Motta wasn’t able to rule out an exit for the winger. He said: “He’s part of Juventus at this moment and then we’ll see.”
