Chelsea ‘Table €100m Offer’ For Juventus Star Chiesa As Italians Issue Response

Chelsea have seen a €100m (£85m) offer for Juventus star Federico Chiesa knocked back by the Serie A giants, according to reports

The Blues are looking to add to fresh faces following their Champions League triumph.

Thomas Tuchel arrived in January but had to work with the squad assembled by his predecessor, Frank Lampard.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich spent big last summer but is again ready to back his manager in the market.

The west Londoners are in need of attacking reinforcements ahead of next season and Chiesa has been identified as one.

The 23-year-old, who initially spent last year on loan in Turin, was a star for the Azzurri at Euro 2020.

After scoring 14 times for Juventus last term Chiesa forced his way into Italy’s first XI after scoring in the last 16 and semi-finals.

Chelsea have tabled a hefty offer in order to tempt the Italian side, but they have declined to even entertain talks, reports Bild

Tuchel has admitted in recent months that he would like to add several new faces.

“Two or three could be very, very good,” he told reporters in May.
