Timothy Castagne has been a long-sought profile at Juventus, and Giuntoli’s arrival has not changed the Bianconeri’s plans. On the outgoing side, watch out for Chiesa, in the case of offers of 60 million
Antonio Barillà, journalist for La Stampa, spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on the Twitch TVPLAY channel, to comment on the latest market news on Federico Chiesa, discussing his possible valuation (60 million).
Juventus need to sell, and it’s certainly no mystery. And there are only two big players with whom they can make money: Vlahovic and Chiesa. “Right now Chiesa is worth around €60 million,” Barillà explained. “Then we have to see what is going to be done to replace him, but if 60 million arrives, Chiesa could leave. And in these situations it will be necessary to listen to the will of the player.”
“By giving away Di Maria, Juventus know they don’t have a replacement for Chiesa. So either the market offers you a deal or you have to make a lot of money. If you have to go and get a player from Sassuolo for 35 million, it is difficult for Chiesa to leave at 40. “
According to Barillà, therefore, Juventus must mainly find a possible replacement that does not cost too much, otherwise the sacrifice of Chiesa would not make sense. “The moment a concrete offer adhering to Juventus’ demands arrives, Giuntoli will evaluate it with Allegri. A decision will be made for an important fit. It will be necessary to guarantee technical continuity, both in the case of Chiesa and Vlahovic. Especially for Vlahovic, it will be necessary to take a capable replacement under the net,” Barillà said again.
Church away at 60 million: “We need a replacement that doesn’t cost too much “
“All in the name of respecting a budget in crisis after the lack of income due to the lack of Champions League qualification. However, there are no offers at the moment,’ the journalist explained. “In full respect of the news given by other colleagues, Lukaku is not one of the possible alternatives to Vlahovic. “

“The second target on the wing is Castagne: with Leicester there have been many contacts and Juventus have the feeling that given the relegation of the English club, it could be closed. The boy’s will also counts. Castagne has been singled out because he is cheap, already knows the A and has no pretensions to a starting place.”
“Juventus have an economic situation that prevents them from making a certain type of market. Having sorted out the flank with Weah and waiting to double up with Castagne, with Milinkovic gone for the midfield, there will be no operations until the disposals,” the journalist explained. “There are the disposals of pure redundancies and others of youngsters who with the right offer can leave, like Chiesa and Vlahovic. Should Chiesa and Vlahovic leave, there will be graft to change them directly by reinvesting part of the proceeds.”
“For the others, the objective is to lower the wage bill. There is Arthur, for example, who has one of the highest wages at Juventus, there are 44 at the Continassa at the moment. We need to thin it out.”
