The Italy international is understood to be out of Thiago Motta’s plans and the new coach told Sky Sport Italia after Saturday’s 2-2 friendly draw with Brest that there was no chance the player would return to the squad. ( hotfuns ) 

There are a number of options for him, including Napoli and Inter in Serie A, while his agent says he has been in touch with Chelsea and Spurs in the Premier League.

Juve have been criticised for making the situation too obvious, as it signals a desire to leave and means interested clubs can bid low, with his contract expiring in 2025.

Calciomercato have taken a close look at the numbers to see how much it would cost to sign one of the most talented players in Italian football.

Juventus paid €12.6m to sign Chiesa on loan from Fiorentina in 2020 with an option to buy in two years for €44.6m.

Considering the €5m per season in repayments and wages, the minimum figure that Juve can sell without making a loss is €14.9m.

It’s a far cry from the €25-30m they were hoping for at the start of the summer.
