The 22-year-old has been persistently linked with a move away from La Viola following a strong Serie A campaign, with the Italian registering six goals and five assists from 23 league outings.

Juventus, Chelsea, Manchester United, Inter Milian are all battling to get the Italian put pen to paper.

The report from the Turin based newspaper goes on to speculate that Chiesa could be used as an alternative up front, as an attacking midfielder in a 3-4-2-1 system or utilised as a right wing back in a 3-5-2 system.

This season Chiesa, who has a contract with La Viola through until the end of the 2021/22 season, has made 26 appearances across all competitions to date. In just over 2100 minutes on the field, he has scored seven goals and tallied five assists.

Fiorentina chief Joe Barone recently confirmed that there was interest from the Premier League for Chiesa, but Juventus are supposedly at the head of the queue for the player’s signature.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus have identified Chiesa as an ideal alternative to Valencia winger Ferran Torres, and the Turin club would be willing to part ways with some fringe players in order to secure Chiesa’s signature.

Juve are reportedly set to welcome back midfielder Rolando Mandragora following a two-year spell with Udinese, and Maurizio Sarri’s side will also see Argentinian defender Cristian Romero return to Turin this summer.

However, both players will allegedly be used as part of an offer for Chiesa, and a deal for the Italian could leave the futures of Douglas Costa and Federico Bernardeschi uncertain.
