Former Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi has claimed that he has been told that Fiorentina’s Federico Chiesa will move to Inter.
Chiesa has long been linked with a move to the Nerazzurri, as well as their arch rivals Juventus and Renzi claims to know that Chiesa is soon going to be an Inter player.
Renzi’s comments come just hours on from Fiorentina president Rocco Commisso claiming that La Viola do not have to sell either Chiesa or Gaetano Castrovilli, who has also been linked to Inter.
“I know where he is going. According to my sources, he will go to Inter. He will play there,” Renzi, who served as Italy’s prime minister between 2014 and 2016, told journalist Enrico Mentana in a live interview which was broadcast on Mentana’s Instagram.
This season Chiesa, who is under contract with Fiorentina until the end of the 2021/22 season, has made 26 appearances across all competitions to date. In just over 2100 minutes on the field, the 22-year-old winger has scored seven goals and tallied five assists.
