Tottenham, Chelsea, and Newcastle battling it out to sign Serie A superstar
By Manuel Meza
The chase for Federico Chiesa is really getting interesting. The Juventus winger has turned down a new contract even though he's got just a year left on his current deal. HITC reports that Juventus are ready to sell him this summer after he said no to their first offer, and they’re not planning to make a new one anytime soon.
This decision has sparked interest from several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, Chelsea, Newcastle, Arsenal, and Liverpool. While Atletico Madrid also has its eye on the 26-year-old, the strongest interest appears to be coming from Serie A sides Roma and Napoli.
Arsenal and Liverpool have only been made aware of Chiesa’s situation but have not pursued him further. In contrast, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Newcastle have reportedly initiated talks regarding a potential move for the Juventus star.

Earlier reports from GiveMeSport suggested that Tottenham might be the most likely Premier League destination for Chiesa if he opts for a switch this summer. The expected price tag for the Italian winger is around €25 million (£21.6 million), plus add-ons, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Chiesa, who was once a standout talent, has seen his form slide recently, which raises questions about his impact. There’s a chance he might keep struggling, but if he can recapture the form he had in 2021, he could be a great pickup. Whether clubs decide to sign him will hinge on their belief in his ability to get back to his top level.
Given Federico Chiesa's recent dip in form and his history of injuries, he might not be the ideal target for Tottenham right now. With his current level not matching his past brilliance and concerns about his fitness, Spurs could be better off looking elsewhere. However, it will be interesting to see which club ultimately secures his signature and whether Chiesa can turn things around at his next destination.
