Juventus identify Chiesa replacement in Serie A as Italy star’s future uncertain | OneFootball

Alfred Gudmundsson has emerged as Juventus‘ primary candidate to replace Federico Chiesa in the summer if the Italy international doesn’t sign a contract extension.

Chiesa’s Juventus future is uncertain as talks over a new deal at the Allianz Stadium have yet to begin.

His contract in Turin runs out in 2025 and if the versatile striker refuses to sign a new deal, the Bianconeri will listen to offers for him in the summer.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus can’t afford to raise his €5m-a-year salary, while the player’s entourage feels their client deserves to be among the highest-paid footballers in the team and get at least €7m per season like Dusan Vlahovic.

Official talks will reportedly begin before next summer’s Euros, but according to Gazzetta, Juventus have already identified Chiesa’s potential replacement in Genoa‘s Gudmundsson.
