Juventus have secured a Champions League spot, activating a clause to make Federico Chiesa’s move permanent.
The Italy international joined the Bianconeri on loan with an obligation to buy in October 2020.
“Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that an agreement with ACF Fiorentina for the temporary acquisition, until 30 June 2022, of the registration rights of the player Federico Chiesa has been finalised for a consideration of € 10 million, of which € 3 million for sporting season 2020/2021 and € 7 million for sporting season 2021/2022,” Juventus statement read.
“The agreement further entails:
- The obligation for Juventus to definitely acquire the player’s registrations rights, subject to the achievement of certain given sporting objectives by the end of the season 2021/2022;
- The right for Juventus to definitively acquire the player’s registration rights in case these given objectives are not achieved.
- In both cases, the agreed consideration for the definitive acquisition is € 40 million, payable in three years, which might be increased up to a maximum of € 10 million upon achievement of further performance objectives over the duration of the employment contract with the player.”
According to multiple reports in Italy, one of the conditions to make Chiesa’s move permanent in 2021-22 was to qualify for the Champions League, a target that the Old Lady achieved yesterday, with three games to spare.
The Bianconeri beat Venezia 2-1, while Roma collected a 0-0 draw against Bologna, going 10 points behind Max Allegri’s men with three games remaining. Juventus have already paid €10m for Chiesa’s loan and will pay a further €40m plus €10m add-ons to make his move permanent.
The 24-year-old has scored 18 goals in 61 games in Turin, but has been on the treatment table since January due to a severe knee injury. He will return to the pitch in 2022-23.

Chiesa was going nowhere. Best Italian player by far and will be for the next 10 years.
i think the best thing for chiesa was for italy missing the world cup. or else mancini would have tried to speed up his recovery to get him to take part in the world cup. chiesa now has a whole summer to rest and rehab that knee properly without rushing. i am sure he will be back to his best next season.
Serie A lover – totally agree. He will have a proper recovery without the pressure of meeting a specific deadline.
The way he plays and his skills might bring out excitement to the game. But the fact that he is in this team has not been a real impact to the team. People might blame other players. However looking at the encounter against Milan, Napoli, and Inter, he did not prove to succeed with the team. This also the case with Vlahovic.
Nonsense Ringo. Him and Vlahovic look great together. Moratta is fine to go though. Dyballa I’m torn on. If juve can get raspadori then fine but Di Maria would be a poor signing.
Total nonsense. He’s a legend in the making. Already hit that status by being instrumental in the Euros win and he’s been sorely missed by Juve. Different story next season.
@bianconero Very much agree but I’d add that it would be good to get both. We need the depth to battle on all fronts. High level experience is vital for Europe but we need the energy of youth.
Even as an Inter fan I have to admit he is pure quality but Allegri will ruin him just like Vlahovic who’s numbers are decreasing, very similar to Ronaldo’s first season in Turin.
Alegri and his mehhh tactics will make every creative player suffer. As ussual he will plot chiesa as left back next season
@rico not a bad idea considering there is Sandro and the less said the better. Allegri has no excuses if Juventus buys big on the market and actually covers those areas.
