Federico Chiesa could choose to leave Juventus: he is attracted by the Premier League, and in particular Newcastle, where national team-mate Sandro Tonali has just moved
Monica Colombo, journalist of the Corriere della Sera, spoke to the microphones of calciomercato.it, broadcast on Twitch TVPLAY channel, to talk about all the crossovers and clashes between Premier and Juventus on the market, starting from Dusan Vlahoic followed by Chelsea, up to Chiesa, who is liked by Aston Villa and Newcastle.
The journalist began by talking about the Pogba situation: ‘In pursuit of the goal of sustainability, and in order to reduce the workforce, Juve will only buy to replace someone. A big man may leave: the most likely transfer is that of Pogba. The ideal replacement is Franck Kessie, who would welcome a return to Italy after doing well between Bergamo and Milan.”
‘Right now Juventus has forty-four players in the squad,’ the interviewee continued, ‘and the input from Allegri and Giuntoli is to thin out the workforce. That is why Bonucci and McKennie have been taken out of the squad. Chelsea approached for information on Vlahovic and proposed Lukaku as a quid pro quo, but Romelu is dragging his feet for now because he wants Inter at all costs. “
Church to Newcastle: “The relationship between Federico and Allegri is not excellent “
“He got on very well at Milan,” the journalist continued, still talking about Lukaku. “Juventus is not the place that inspires him the most, especially after the latest tensions and problems with racism. Chelsea, however, are meanwhile working on such a deal… While Inter are stuck until they sell Onana. The situation could change even tomorrow. Chelsea also want to resolve”.

“The ideal would be to conclude by Monday. Define the situation one way or the other. Given that Monday is the day Lukaku is expected in London after taking five extra days off.”
“For Chiesa, the team that has moved most insistently is Aston Villa,” Monica Colombo continued. ‘Then there is the Newcastle hypothesis. After Tonali’s arrival, Newcastle could become a welcome destination for many Italians, including Chiesa. It is a very rich team and one that will make the Champions League.”
“As with Vlahovic, Chiesa also has problems with Allegri. Relations between player and coach are not excellent, so it is not excluded that there could be a green light for a transfer. “
