Barcelona is currently facing financial difficulties due to past mistakes, but they are taking advantage of market opportunities, especially with free agents. However, opportunities extend beyond free agents to players available at a fraction of their market value. One such player catching Barcelona’s eye is Juventus winger Federico Chiesa.
Chiesa, valued at €35m according to Transfermarkt, is being offered by Juventus for just €15m this summer as his contract is nearing its end. Juventus proposed a contract renewal to Chiesa similar to what Barcelona offered to Frenkie de Jong and Clement Lenglet, including a salary reduction and deferred payments. Chiesa declined the offer, not willing to accept less money.
With Thiago Motta indicating that Chiesa is not part of his plans, Juventus is looking to sell him this summer to avoid losing him for free next year. This presents Barcelona with the opportunity to acquire a top-quality player at a bargain price. Chiesa, once considered a rising star, is now entering the peak of his career and could be a valuable addition to the Catalan club.
