Juventus are set to make significant moves in the transfer market, with Cristiano Giuntoli at the helm of a daring strategy. The most notable development is the club’s decision to part ways with Federico Chiesa this summer, a move that has been brewing for weeks and is now considered definitive.
Calciomercato report that Giuntoli has set an initial asking price of €25 million for Chiesa, including bonuses. However, the club is aware that Chiesa’s contract, which expires in 2025, weakens their negotiating position. This sacrifice is part of a larger plan that includes retaining Matias Soule, a decision that has received the blessing of incoming manager Thiago Motta.
The ambitious plan doesn’t stop there. Juventus is eyeing Jadon Sancho as Chiesa’s replacement, a move that aligns with both Giuntoli’s and Motta’s vision for the team. Sancho, who is certain to leave Manchester United following ten Hag’s contract renewal, is seen as an ideal fit due to his quality, experience, and eagerness to showcase his talents in Italy. The English winger is reportedly aware of Juventus’ strong interest and is open to the move.
However, acquiring Sancho won’t be straightforward. Manchester United values him at €50-55 million, potentially with additional bonuses. Juventus is currently discussing internally about the structure of their offer, with a likely proposal being a loan with an option to buy that becomes mandatory upon meeting certain conditions.
