Federico Chiesa has been linked with Inter Milan in a possible surprise swap deal involving midfielder Davide Frattesi.
Italian broadcaster Telelombarida, via FCInter1908, claim that the Nerazzurri could sign the 26-year-old this summer, along with receiving €20 million, in exchange for sending Frattesi to Juventus.
At the moment, Chiesa’s future at Juventus is up in the air.
The 26-year-old’s current contract with the Bianconeri runs until the end of next June.
Juventus and Chiesa have been in contract extension talks for over a year at this stage.
However, they have yet to find an agreement on a new deal for the former Fiorentina winger.
Chiesa’s somewhat underwhelming season last time out hasn’t helped – he scored ten goals across all competitions, though the feeling was that he was rarely decisive.
Nor has the Italian international’s injury record. Persistent fitness problems have sometimes kept Chiesa on the sidelines, or hindered his momentum and consistency.
Given Chiesa’s contract situation, Juventus have made no secret of the fact that they are aiming to offload the 26-year-old.
But that may not be easy.
The interest from Serie A doesn’t look to be very significant at the moment.
Roma have sounded out a move for Chiesa. However, the Giallorossi’s real interest appears to be in young Juventus winger Matias Soule.
Federico Chiesa Linked With Shock Inter Move In Frattesi Swap Deal
It’s little surprise to see that Inter have been linked with a possible move for Chiesa next summer on a free transfer.
The Nerazzurri have made several high profile free transfer signings over the last few years.
And as things stand, Chiesa could be available for nothing in twelve months’ time.
But according to Italian broadcaster Telelombardia, Inter could move for Chiesa even earlier than that.
The broadcaster anticipate that Juventus could be aiming to offload the former Fiorentina winger this summer, and send him to Inter in order to secure midfielder Frattesi.
Given Frattesi’s age, value, and contract situation, however, such a deal would also see Inter pocket a €20 million fee.
