Barcelona Make Contact With Agents of Juventus Winger
Barcelona is actively pursuing options to reinforce their squad, particularly seeking a left winger. Despite attempts to secure Nico Williams and the recent acquisition of Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig, it appears the club remains focused on finding additional attacking talent at a potentially lower cost.
potential move for federico chiesa
One name that has surfaced in discussions is Juventus winger Federico Chiesa. The player has fallen out of favor under coach Thiago Motta, who has indicated that Chiesa is no longer within his plans for the team. With only one year remaining on his current contract, he could be available for a more affordable transfer.
Reports suggest that Barcelona have established communication with Chiesa’s representative, Fali Ramadani. Renowned journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has confirmed that negotiations for a potential deal are underway. According to Sport, Barcelona could secure Chiesa for a fee not exceeding €14 million, and although he currently earns a gross salary of €12 million (€6 million net), the club will likely urge him to consider a pay reduction to facilitate the move to Catalonia.
injury concerns addressed
Adding to the optimism surrounding Chiesa’s potential transfer is a recent update regarding his health. Medical assessments indicate that he has completely recovered from the anterior cruciate ligament injury that hindered his performance two years ago. Such news will likely play a key role in any decision-making processes regarding the player’s future.
Barcelona’s pursuit of Chiesa comes amidst interest from various other clubs. Reports claim that both Chelsea and Manchester United have also expressed interest in securing the services of the talented winger, although no formal offers have emerged from England as of now.
alternatives explored
While Federico Chiesa is now being considered, he is not the only option on Barcelona’s radar. Following Nico Williams’ decision to stay with Athletic Bilbao and Luis Diaz being valued too highly, the club’s choices are dwindling. The Blaugrana are still seeking a player who possesses the ability to excel in one-on-one situations. Currently, there are 11 players competing for the three positions behind striker Robert Lewandowski, although there may soon be more openings as Ilkay Gundogan looks to exit and Gavi could see a shift into a deeper role.
The upcoming weeks will be critical for Barcelona as they continue their search for a left winger, with Chiesa potentially emerging as a pivotal figure in their attacking lineup. The combination of strategic negotiations and performance assessments will ultimately determine if Barcelona can finalize a move before the transfer window closes.
