AC Milan & Liverpool Join Barcelona In Chase As Juventus Race Against Time To Offload Inter Milan Target

AC Milan and Liverpool have joined Barcelona in the race to sign Inter Milan target Federico Chiesa late in the transfer window.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

One thing that is very clear is that Juventus are trying to get rid of Chiesa.

Bianconeri has made it crystal clear both publicly and in face-to-face conversations with Chiesa that the Italian international is not part of his plans for the season.

And Chiesa is only under contract with Juventus for less than twelve months. His deal runs out at the end of next June.

Therefore, Juventus have shown a willingness to sell Chiesa for a cut-price fee.

Even so, it is now a race against time for the Old Lady to actually complete a deal for Chiesa.

Otherwise, they could be stuck with the Italian international since at least the January transfer window.

Liverpool & AC Milan Join Barcelona In Race For Inter Target Federico CHiesa

A few teams have shown an interest in taking advantage of Chiesa’s situation.

Earlier this month, the links to Inter had been especially prominent.

The Nerazzurri’s interest has always centred more on the idea of a free transfer.

Inter have certainly grown a reputation for being one of Europe’s top teams when it comes to exploiting free transfer opportunities. So waiting for Chiesa’s deal to expire would be in line with their MO.

But on the other hand, Inter have even given consideration to offering a fee for Chiesa.

In the last few days, Barcelona have been in talks to sign Chiesa.

The 26-year-old would be open to a switch to the Camp Nou.

But Barcelona’s financial situation has made it very unclear whether they will be able to sign Chiesa.

Therefore, over the last couple days more interest has emerged in taking advantage of the Italian’s situation.

Liverpool are interested in bringing Chiesa to the Premier League. But within Serie A, the Corriere reports, the interest of AC Milan is also reemerging.
