Newcastle and Tottenham could seal transfer for Italy star ‘in a flash’ as Juventus set £52m asking price
NEWCASTLE or Tottenham could sign Juventus forward Federico Chiesa for £52million in the January transfer window, according to reports.
The Italian, 26, suffered an ACL injury back in January which left him sidelined for the rest of the season.
But he has returned to action at the beginning of the new campaign and hit the ground running.
Chiesa already has four goals and one assist in eight matches for Juventus.
However, according to Calcio Mercato, he is continuing to be linked with a move away.
And it is understood a fee in the region of £52m would be enough to tempt Juventus into selling.
Both Newcastle and Tottenham are monitoring Chiesa’s situation as they weigh up a potential offer in January.
And the report states they could sign him “in a flash” if they step up their pursuit.
Chiesa’s contract expires in June 2025.
He joined Juventus on loan from Fiorentina in 2020, before the move was made permanent for £34m last year.
