Out of Favour Juventus winger, Federico Chiesa, is prepared to accept salary cut to join Barcelona with ten days left to the closure of transfer season.

Chiesa is no longer counted upon in Juventus by new manager Thiago Motta and has been transfer-listed, with the player likely to be available for a fee of around €14 million.

Chiesa currently earns a salary of €6 million per year at Juventus but would be willing to accept a lower pay packet worth around €4.5 million-a-season at Barcelona on a two-plus two-year or a three-year contract.

Chiesa has put all the offers he had on the table on hold as he has decided to prioritise his sporting desires over his financial ones.

The Italian international is clear that Barça’s game suits him like a glove and believes that he could exploit all his characteristics playing in a team that is committed to attack and with open players on the wing.

Manchester United and Chelsea, where his agent has a very good relationship, had been interested in signing him, but Chiesa prefers Barça.

The winger has also blocked Inter Milan’s desire to sign him, despite the fact that there could be an astronomical offer from the Serie A champions.

The Blaugrana do not want to pay more than €10 million and the Italians are demanding €15 million, but the player’s entourage believes that there would be no problem in reaching some kind of satisfactory agreement for all parties.

FC Barcelona are hoping to make some quick moves in the market and strengthen their squad. One of the main areas of focus for the Catalans at this point is the signing of a new left winger.

Multiple targets were on the agenda, but with the likes of Nico Williams and Rafael Leao seemingly out of reach, Juventus outcast Federico Chiesa appears to be the best bet, both in the economic and sporting sense.
