A new player on the horizon
FC Barcelona continues its activity in the transfer market, with Joan Laporta exploring new options to strengthen the team led by Hansi Flick. After failed talks with Nico Williams and Liverpool’s high demands for Luis Diaz, the Catalan club have turned their attention to a new candidate: Juventus winger Federico Chiesa.
Chiesa: A player in crisis with Juventus
Chiesa’s situation has changed dramatically in recent weeks. The footballer has been excluded from Thiago Motta’s team after rejecting the offer to renew his contract that expires in 2025. This turn has generated an increase in interest from FC Barcelona, who see him as a solution viable to strengthen their offensive line.
A signing that could be key
With the search for a left winger, Chiesa has become an attractive alternative for Barça, especially after negotiations with other players have become complicated. Efforts to sign Nico Williams have stalled, and other names such as Kingsley Coman and Luis Diaz have been left out of the race due to their high prices and their clubs’ refusal to facilitate their exits.
Opportunity to take advantage of the contractual situation
Chiesa’s contract is a fundamental element in this equation. If he does not renew, the player will be free in 2025, which has led Juventus to consider an immediate sale to avoid losing the player without compensation. This opens a window of opportunity for FC Barcelona, who could take advantage of Juve’s need to sell.
Chiesa’s recovery and his international experience
Despite the difficulties he has faced, including a knee injury two years ago, Chiesa has once again proven his worth. At the age of 26, he has maintained a high level of performance, as evidenced during the last European Championship in Germany, consolidating himself as a fundamental player for the Italian national team.
The uncertain future of Chiesa
The outcome of his situation with Juventus could lead to a real transfer market, with the likes of Inter Milan and Napoli looking closely at his fate. However, Juventus’ preference would be to avoid selling him to a direct rival, which could benefit Barça.
Hansi Flick’s role in the final decision
For the transfer to materialize, FC Barcelona will have to resolve several internal issues, including the registration of Dani Olmo and the possible departures of Clément Lenglet and Vitor Roque. In this context, Hansi Flick will play a crucial role as he will be the one to make the final decision on Chiesa’s arrival at the club.
