Italy World Cup winner Fulvio Collovati is convinced Federico Chiesa will be ‘put on the market’ if Massimiliano Allegri remains in charge of Juventus.
The Italy international has only scored six goals in 22 appearances across all competitions this season and was subbed off after barely 60 minutes on Sunday in a 3-2 win over Frosinone at the Allianz Stadium.
His contract expires in June 2025 but 1982 Italy World Cup winner Fulvio Collovati feels Chiesa will leave earlier if Allegri remains on the Juventus bench in 2024-25.
“If he [Allegri] stays, I am sure Chiesa will be put on the market,” Collovati told RAI, as quoted by Tuttosport.
“I’d do the same. Chiesa has scored five goals [six] and, considering how much Juventus invested, he hasn’t done enough. If Juventus find some English clubs eager to spend, they’ll sell him to get that money back. He hasn’t been up to the task for now.”
Chiesa has been linked with a move to Liverpool and the most recent report of Gazzetta dello Sport claimed the Bianconeri won’t accept less than €40m for the ex-Fiorentina star. The Bianconeri are expected to sit down with the player’s agent before the end of the season to discuss a possible contract extension.
Chiesa joined Juventus on an initial €12m loan deal from Fiorentina in 2020 and the Bianconeri made his move permanent for €43m two years later.
Chiesa is worth at least €50m. He would score many more goals in a squad with better players.
