Since the summer transfer window began, signing a left-wing prospect has been a major quest for FC Barcelona. Thus, even though Nico Williams' deal halted, their attempt for a left-wing reinforcement has been going on at the Catalan club.
Recently, the club had been linked with Serie's superstar winger Rafael Leao; however, given Milan's demand for a fee for him, Leao's move had to be struck off. Moreover, this was because AC Milan considers him important in their project and values him as an untransferable player.
FC Barcelona advancing for €15M Italian star winger for left-wing reinforce reinforcement
However, the Blaugrana club has been actively linked with another Serie A winger. Being a former Euro winner and boasting significant stats for the Turin club, Federico Chiesa stands as the best possible option for the Catalan club.
According to recent reports from Adrian Sanchez, Barça will send Juventus an offer of €10M + add-ons for Federico Chiesa. Being a cost-effective option, available for a fee of around €20M annually, right now Chiesa stands as the most viable option to reinforce Barça's attack.
In fact, Juventus stands clear in their approach towards the Chiesa's deal, with the Italian winger not a part of the club's plans. This is what Juve's new in, Thiago Motta, had to say on Chiesa's future,
""Our position has not changed. He is not part of our plans. We have spoken. It is a sign of the respect I have for everyone. Transparency, clarity—that is the way I communicate with my players.""Thiago Motta
Add to that the winger's willingness to join FC Barcelona that he would accept a low salary in order to join the Blaugrana club. Currently, even though Barca hasn't placed an offer for Chiesa, with talks going on at the club regarding the winger's potential move, the Blaugrana club surely stands a significant chance to acquire the Italian's signature.
Currently, further updates on the Fede Chiesa Barca move are yet to arrive; it is imminent that FC Barcelona will try their best to finish the summer transfer window with Chiesa added to their roster.
