According to a new report from Torino Sport, the future of Juventus winger Junior Chiesa is becoming more and more uncertain. Juventus have yet to receive any substantial offer for Chiesa Jr, while talks between the player and the club over a contract extension have stalled.
The 26-year-old Italian international returned to Juventus' training base yesterday to undergo a medical and is expected to travel to Germany soon to join the squad for the upcoming matches. However, despite having the last 11 months left on his contract with Juventus, his future remains an unanswered question.
It is reported that Juventus and Chiesa Jr.'s agent have maintained a good relationship with each other, but in recent months, the two sides have been slow to agree on a contract extension. With the end of the European Cup and the early exit of the Italian team, the original small Chiesa interested in the team has become cautious, and is now mostly in a wait-and-see state. Among them, the player's high salary requirements have become a major obstacle to the transfer.
However, there is also latest news that Conte has shown strong interest in Chiesa Jr. and hopes that Napoli will act quickly to finalize the deal. The other Serie A giants, Inter Milan, have adopted a more conservative strategy, hoping to use the expiry of Chiesa's contract as an opportunity to try to sign the Italian winger on a free transfer next summer.
For Juventus, the renewal of Chiesa Jr.'s contract and the transfer issue has undoubtedly become a major challenge for the club. On the one hand, they hope to keep this talented player to contribute to the team's future; on the other hand, if they can't reach a contract extension agreement, they also need to prepare for the player's departure as soon as possible, so as not to be caught in a passive situation in the transfer market.
