Chiesa is actually on a two-year loan deal at Juventus from Serie A rivals Fiorentina. The Italy international joined the Bianconeri last summer. If Juve were to sell Chiesa, then they would have to make the loan deal permanent this summer.

The Italy international is a very important player for Juventus and did well for Italy at Euro 2020 this summer. The 23-year-old winger scored eight goals and gave eight assists in Serie A, and scored four goals and provided one assist in the Champions League last season. Chiesa scored two goals for Italy at the European Championship.
