Juventus star Federico Chiesa could be on his way out of his club amid Tottenham links
A potential transfer to Tottenham Hotspur may be one of the central moments in the career of Federico Chiesa and, at the same time, for the Spurs. It is patent that Juventus have serious intentions to sell the 26-year-old this summer, which Thiago Motta has made clear by not including Chiesa in the upcoming friendly.
Since June, Chiesa has topped Juve’s list of players to sell apparently. That is as per Fabrizio Romano via Twitter. He has managed 32 goals and 23 assists in 131 games for them across all competitions.
Considering the undoubted quality of Chiesa, despite his injury record, this could have been a signing that really could help Tottenham. The versatility in options he can bring into the attacking end by playing either as a winger or as a striker surely gives depth to the Spurs attack.
Chiesa to the Lilywhites?
As well as technical skills and pace, Chiesa has this intuitive talent for making and taking chances, so maybe he will prove to be a game-changer for the Lilywhites. In addition, negotiations between Spurs and Juve shouldn’t be that difficult after what worked well in past cases such as Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski.
Now, the fact that Juventus is ready to sell him and Motta’s attitude toward Chiesa suggests that should the right bid be offered, a deal could very well go through. One possible obstacle could be Chiesa’s will to play Champions League football next year—something Tottenham finished two points short of this season. It might, however, be an excellent opportunity to be a key player in his project for Chiesa, knowing the faith Ange Postecoglou has in him.
The Italian international will surely help the squad grow two-fold. Not only would his arrival strengthen the squad, but it would also portray the intent of the club to compete at the top. Of course, Chiesa’s injuries do beg a question, but in this case, the potential rewards far outweigh the risks involved. His dynamic playing style and fruitful record in Serie A make him quite an attractive target.

If Tottenham manage to roll out the Champions League carpet and present a solid enough case, they might just end up signing one of the most exciting players available in the market this summer. Let’s be real. That is not possible. It all lies in the negotiation power of Big Ange and whether or not he convinces Chiesa to join a “Europa League” club is something only time will tell.
