According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are ready to receive an ‘important offer’ from the Premier League for Federico Chiesa with Newcastle United among the interested clubs.

Monday’s printed edition of Il Corriere dello Sport, on page five, reports Juventus are prepared to receive an ‘important offer’ for their striker Chiesa. The bid will reportedly come from a Premier League club, while Newcastle have ‘expressed interest’ in the Italy international, whose contract runs out in June 2025.

Corriere dello Sport confirms Juventus are willing to discuss a contract extension with the 26-year-old, but if Chiesa refuses to commit his long-term future to the Bianconeri, then the club will be forced to listen to offers at the end of the season.

Liverpool have also been linked with the Italy international, while Tuttosport reported last week that the ex-Fiorentina star could even be included in a swap deal to sign Joshua Zirkzee if the Dutch striker returns to Germany from Bologna for €40m.

Chiesa, 26, has scored eight goals in 28 appearances across all competitions this season.
