At FC BarcelonaThey are working hard to complete the squad and their main focus in this final phase of the summer transfer market is to sign a left winger so that Hansi Flick has more attacking options. One of the possibilities that the Barça management is considering is the Italian international Federico Chiesa (26 years old), who could be a cost-effective choice as he has his contract with Juventus Turinwhich ends in 2025.

trainer Thiago Motta has made it clear that he is not counting on Chiesa, so his departure from Juventus seems to be only a matter of time. Reports from Italy suggest that there is optimism that Church will join Barcelonaand the player is reportedly waiting for a move from the Catalans so he can go to Barcelona for a new challenge.

While Barcelona sees Church as an attractive option, their current priority is to try to sign Rafa Leao. Milan is hard about Leao’s future, but Barcelona is confident that they can close a deal that will give them a significant financial boost to enter the market without any restrictions due to “fair play”. They must also complete the registration Daniela Olmo in La Liga, which is still pending.

So if the deals that Barcelona hopes that they don’t get through and can’t sign Leaothey have Church as a backup plan to strengthen their attack line. Both Juventus and Chiesa seems willing to allow him to wear the Barça shirt.
