Newcastle United are weighing up a big-money move for Federico Chiesa this summer, according to reports.
Juventus are understood to be open to offloading the winger at the end of the season. Chiesa became a household name at Euro 2020, making the Team of the Tournament as Italy were crowned champions – beating England in the final.
A string of injuries have hampered his progress since then but he remains a top winger in Serie A. The 26-year-old appears to have put those setbacks behind him, starting seven of Juve’s last eight league fixtures.
Financial difficulties could force the Turin giants to sell this summer. Breaching FFP forced UEFA to ban Juventus from competing in European competition and, in February, they announced annual losses of £82million.
Corriere dello Sport now claim Newcastle are plotting a move for Chiesa as part of their rebuild. Liverpool and Chelsea are also named as possible Premier League destinations for the £40million man.
