Report: Club give wage ‘ultimatum’ to Tottenham-linked winger
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus have told rumoured Tottenham transfer target Federico Chiesa to either agree to a salary cut or depart the club.
Chiesa‘s future at Juventus hangs in the balance at the moment, with the winger now into the final year of his deal and various sources suggesting that he is not central to the plans of new manager Thiago Motta (Fabrizio Romano).
Tottenham have been named as one of the leading contenders to land the 26-year-old (GiveMeSport) but it has emerged over recent days that the Italian international is not in a hurry to make a decision on his future and is open to remaining with the Bianconeri (Sky Sport Italia via Roma Press).
Juve’s ultimatum
Gazzetta have now said that Juve have now made it clear that they want a decision from Chiesa soon on his future.
The report claims that the Old Lady want the former Fiorentina man to leave if he does not agree to sign a new contract which would see his salary being reduced from €6m per year to €5m.
The publication also reveals that Juve previously tried to use Chiesa in a player-plus-cash swap deal for Jadon Sancho but Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is taking his time to consider the potential swap.
Spurs Web Opinion
If Chiesa does decide to leave Juve, I would expect plenty of Premier League clubs to vie for the winger’s signature.
Hiis salary is on the higher side, which might put off Tottenham, despite Juve’s modest asking price.
