Thiago Motta indirectly confirms Juventus stance on Chiesa as Barcelona talks continue | OneFootball

Federico Chiesa remains in talks with Barcelona, and Juventus coach Thiago Motta indirectly confirmed that the Italian star is not part of his plans, as he didn’t even mention the winger among the unavailable players for the Hellas Verona game.

It is no secret that Italian star Chiesa has no future at Juventus as Motta does not consider the ex-Fiorentina ace as part of his plans.

Chiesa has been training separately since the start of the pre-season and Juventus are pushing for his sale.

His agent Fali Ramadani is in talks with Barcelona and the latest report from Sky Sport claims that the Catalans are confident of reaching an agreement with Juventus.

The Old Lady’s asking price for the winger is circa €15m as Chiesa’s contract runs out in June 2025.
