Federico Chiesa is willing to take a pay cut to sign for Barcelona before the summer window closes. Italian media outlet La Repubblica reported on Wednesday that. Juventus forward Federico Chiesa is willing to take a pay cut to €4.5m a year in order to sign with Barcelona this summer.
Chiesa is looking for a new club after the 26-year-old fell out of favour under new Juventus boss Thiago Motta. While Juventus are demanding a fee for the player, who has less than 12 months remaining on his contract, to leave before the window closes. UFABET
Barcelona, meanwhile, are looking to reinforce their left wing attack. After their attempt to sign Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams failed. So the Catalan giants are looking at other options and have held talks with Chiesa’s agent Fali Ramadani over a deal for the Italy winger.
Chiesa currently earns €6m a year at Juventus and would be happy to accept a reduced salary of around €4.5m a year. With Barcelona on a two- or three-year deal. With the Blaugrana hoping to pay around €12m but Juve are demanding €15m, so negotiations are still ongoing.
The Turin giants want to bring in Nico Gonzalez from Fiorentina, so Chiesa’s departure could suit all three parties.
Barcelona have only signed Dani Olmo this summer but seem determined to add another player before the transfer window closes.
