Barcelona‘s quest to sign Juventus winger Federico Chiesa has received a significant boost as the Italian club is considering selling the player to meet their financial obligations. The 23-year-old has been a long-term target for the Catalan giants, who are looking to strengthen their attack.
Financial Constraints at Juventus
Juventus, the reigning Serie A champions, are facing financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The club has been hit hard by the lack of matchday revenue and reduced sponsorships. Selling Chiesa could help them balance their books and meet the financial demands of the upcoming transfer window.
Barcelona‘s Interest in Chiesa
Barcelona has been tracking Chiesa for some time now, and the club’s interest in the winger has only intensified in recent months. The Spanish giants believe that Chiesa’s pace, skill, and versatility would make him an excellent addition to their attack, which has been lacking depth and quality in recent seasons.
Competition for Chiesa’s Signature
While Barcelona is the front-runner in the race to sign Chiesa, they are not the only club interested in the Italian international. Other top European clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, have also been linked with the winger. However, Barcelona‘s reputation and the prospect of playing alongside Lionel Messi could give them an edge in negotiations.
Chiesa’s Career So Far
Federico Chiesa has established himself as one of the most promising young players in Europe since joining Juventus from Fiorentina in 2020. The winger has scored 15 goals and provided 11 assists in 58 appearances for the Turin-based club. He has also been capped 25 times for Italy, scoring six goals.
Conclusion
Barcelona‘s pursuit of Federico Chiesa has received a significant boost as Juventus considers selling the winger to address their financial issues. The Spanish giants believe that Chiesa would be an excellent addition to their attack and are willing to do whatever it takes to secure his signature. However, they face stiff competition from other top European clubs. Only time will tell if Barcelona can successfully negotiate a deal for the talented Italian winger.
