Chiesa Offered to Barcelona as Nico Williams alternative

Spanish newspaper Sport reports that Barcelona is considering Juventus player Federico Chiesa as a backup option if they are unable to sign their top target, Nico Williams.

 

Coach Thiago Motta confirmed last week that Chiesa is set to be sold this summer, as his contract, which runs until June 2025, is not aligned with the team’s future plans.

 

Various clubs, including Roma, Napoli, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea, have been mentioned as potential buyers for Chiesa at a price below €20m, but none have made a move yet.

 

Barcelona is now entering the race for Chiesa. Sport indicates that his agent has approached Barcelona, proposing Chiesa as a viable option should Nico Williams choose to stay with Athletic Club Bilbao.

 

Chiesa remains a potential target, but Barcelona appears to be taking their time with their decision. As the situation continues, Juventus might have to lower Chiesa’s asking price and adjust his salary expectations.

 

The minimum amount Juventus can accept without incurring a loss on their original €60m investment in Chiesa from Fiorentina is €15m.
