Juventus still after Chelsea target but Napoli have the advantage; the situation
There were reports that the loan move of Marko Pjaca to Fiorentina gave Juventus a first option to buy Chiesa from the Viola. However, CalcioMercato can reveal that in fact Napoli hold the advantage – with a personal pact between Diego Della Valle and Aurelio De Laurentiis to notify Napoli when Chiesa is considered ‘transferable’.
This will certainly not discourage Juventus, who are still extremely interested in signing Chiesa – despite Fiorentina’s high valuation of the player at around €65 million. The loan move of Pjaca and the signing of Bernardeschi has soothed the relationship between Juve and Fiorentina, meaning that signing Chiesa could be a possibility.
