Transfer Talk: Reds plot summer swoop for Juve outcast Chiesa

Juventus and Italy winger Federico Chiesa could be on the move this summer as he contemplates his future in Turin.

The 25-year-old is said to have a broken relationship with Old Lady boss Max Allegri which may push him out of the door, according to Italian sources.

The Bianconeri may ask for up to £50million for the Euro 2020 winner, who made only 21 Serie A appearances in an injury-hit season last term.

The versatile forward suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in early 2022 and since returning to the Juve line-up, he has struggled to rekindle his previous form.
