Federico Chiesa has attracted significant attention amid Juventus’ recent disappointing performances, with reports from Tuttosport confirming Liverpool’s interest while Gazzetta highlights that the Italian winger is no longer considered youthful.
With Chiesa’s Juventus contract set to expire in June 2025, the club faces a pivotal decision: either engage in discussions with their star player to chart a long-term course together or permit him to depart at the conclusion of the season.
Chiesa has become a prominent topic of discussion in Italy due to his recent inability to make significant contributions in terms of goals and assists.
His return to the starting lineup in 2024 against Udinese ended in a 1-0 defeat, with Chiesa being substituted in the second half after managing only one shot on target.
According to Tuttosport’s printed edition on Wednesday, Chiesa and coach Max Allegri are experiencing discord regarding tactical choices and temperament.
Allegri has predominantly deployed Chiesa as a supporting striker this season. Despite an encouraging beginning, the 26-year-old has only scored six goals in 20 appearances, accumulating just 1328 minutes on the field.
Chiesa has grappled with recurring injuries throughout the season, sidelining him for nine club-level matches. Although he suffered a severe knee injury in January 2022, he returned to action over a year ago.
Gazzetta scrutinizes Chiesa’s performances this season and contemplates his future prospects at the club, cautioning that he will celebrate his 27th birthday in October, emphasizing that “he is no longer young.”
Alessandro Vocalelli reflected, “For years, we understandably saw him as the best representative of Italy’s new generation alongside Donnarumma and others. One of the best young players. However, in the meantime, Chiesa has grown up, almost without realising it,”
