Fabrizio Romano explains Federico Chiesa's situation amid Tottenham links
Tottenham Hotspur have been busy with transfers this summer, and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Min-hyuk Yang is their third new signing. However, things are looking a bit rocky for their potential fourth signing, Federico Chiesa.
Romano, a trusted source for transfer news, initially reported that Juventus plans to sell Federico Chiesa. The Italian winger, who has recently represented Italy in the European Championships, was said to be available for around £21 million plus add-ons. This information sparked speculation that Chiesa could be moving to Tottenham.
Adding to the buzz, SportMediaSet (h/t CalcioNapoli24) recently claimed that Chiesa was on the verge of a transfer to Tottenham for between €30 and €35 million (£25.3 to £29.5 million). Their live broadcast suggested that Chiesa was set to leave Italy not for Roma or Napoli, but for the Premier League, with Tottenham being the likely destination.
Despite these reports, Fabrizio Romano has cast doubt on the immediate likelihood of Chiesa joining Spurs. Romano stated that Chiesa has not yet made a decision regarding his next move, dismissing the notion that he is close to finalizing a transfer to Tottenham. According to Romano, "At the moment, I can guarantee that Chiesa hasn’t decided anything despite all of the rumors."

This does not completely rule out a future move to North London, but it means that Tottenham fans will have to wait a bit longer to see if Chiesa will indeed be their next signing. The prospect of Chiesa joining Tottenham is intriguing, especially at a price that seems relatively affordable at around £25 million.
However, the question remains: will Tottenham secure the Chiesa of 2021, who dazzled with his performances, or will they get the version struggling with injuries and poor form seen in 2024? Despite the risks, securing a player of Chiesa's caliber could be a gamble worth taking for Spurs.
As Tottenham continues to reshape their squad, the potential addition of Chiesa would certainly be a headline-grabbing move. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how this saga unfolds.
