Italy star's agent reveals talks with Barca over shock transfer swoop

Federico Chiesa could be on his way to Barcelona, with his agent, Fali Ramadani, recently discussing a potential transfer with the Catalan club.

Juventus are keen to offload the Italian forward this summer rather than risk losing him for free next January.

Chiesa, who was left out of Juventus' squad for their Serie A opener against Como, has been absent from the club’s recent pre-season matches as well.

Juventus is eager to sell Chiesa now to secure a transfer fee, with his contract expiring at the end of the season.

Barcelona shows interest amid Juventus' summer shake-up

Barcelona has emerged as a strong candidate for Chiesa's services after failing to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao.

Reports from both Italian and Spanish sources confirm that Barcelona is considering Chiesa as a potential addition to their squad.

Juventus prefers to sell Chiesa to a foreign club to avoid strengthening a rival in Serie A.

Inter Milan has been mentioned as a possible Italian destination, but they may wait until the end of the transfer window or for Chiesa to become a free agent.

As Juventus looks to finalize their summer deals, Chiesa's move to Barcelona could offer both clubs a timely resolution to their current transfer dilemmas.
