Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Juventus winger Federico Chiesa.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Serie A giants are willing to accept offers in the region of €50 million.
United, along with Liverpool and Newcastle, are at the table.
Juventus need to raise funds to facilitate a move for Romelu Lukaku.
While a winger is not Erik ten Hag’s priority this summer, he can look at Chiesa as a different profile of attacker, capable of adding dynamism to his attack.
Chiesa is a versatile player who can perform effectively in multiple attacking positions.
He is comfortable playing as a winger on either flank, as a forward, or even in a more central role behind the striker.
This versatility allows him to adapt to various tactical setups and contribute in different areas of the pitch.
Alongside his playmaking abilities, Chiesa has a natural goal-scoring instinct.
He can score goals with both feet and is proficient in finishing with his head, making him a genuine goal-scoring threat.
For now, Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund remains United’s priority for the striker role.
They are looking to lodge a new bid in the region of €60m.
