Manchester United and two Premier League rivals have reportedly been ‘given a huge transfer boost’ as they consider signing Juventus star Federico Chiesa.
The Italy international was heavily linked with major transfers elsewhere after starring for his country at Euro 2020 as his country won the tournament.
Chiesa ended up sticking with Juventus but was out of action for most of 2022 after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The 26-year-old was a regular for Juventus last season as he grabbed ten goals and three assists in his 37 appearances for the Italian giants across all competitions.
Despite this, Juventus are looking to offload the winger this summer as he recently entered the final year of his contract.
After missing Juventus’ friendly against Brest on Saturday, new head coach Thiago Motta admitted they are looking to offload Chiesa this summer to free up funds for signings.
He said: “Chiesa is out for transfer reasons, the same as the others who were left behind, other than Fabio Miretti who is injured.
“We have been very clear with them. They are talented, but must find other options where they will get more playing time. For Chiesa and the others, the decision has been made.”

Chiesa has been linked with several Premier League clubs this summer, but Man Utd are said to have joined the race to sign the Italy international.
Man Utd have already spent £90m to sign Leny Yoro and Joahua Zirkzee, while they are ‘expected’ to sign two Bayern Munich players in the coming days.
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe could also look to add a new winger to his squad and Chiesa has emerged as a potential low-cost option.
According to our pals over at TEAMtalk, Man Utd and more Premier League clubs have been ‘given a huge transfer boost’ with Chiesa ‘up for sale’.
‘The winger is understood to be keen on a Premier League move, with Spurs, United, Chelsea, and the Gunners said to be keeping tabs on the 26-year-old.’

A report in Spain meanwhile claims Chiesa’s ‘future seems far away from Juventus’, who ‘could sell’ the attacker for a ‘ridiculous price’ this summer.
‘Currently under contract with Juventus until June 2025, the talented winger faces an uncertain future.
‘With an estimated market value of €35 million, Juventus are interested in selling the player to make a profit before his contract expires and he can leave for free.
‘They have set a surprising price of €15 million to facilitate his exit, a figure that reflects the club’s urgency to complete the sale.
‘The club’s financial circumstances and need for restructuring have led the club’s management to take the decision to put one of their most valuable assets on the market for a significantly low fee.
‘This situation has sparked the interest of several European clubs, who see in Chiesa a golden opportunity to strengthen their ranks with a high-quality player at an affordable price.’
