The summer transfer window is just getting started and players are moving around. We have not seen any big buy from the big clubs but reports of who is going where or who might be bought or sold or swapped are going around, the latest being Chiesa swapped from Juventus.
Jadon Sancho has given the green light to leave United and join Juventus, the transfer saga takes an interesting turn with the potential inclusion of Federico Chiesa, Juventus’ prized winger. The Italian winger is very talented, he has captivated audiences with his dazzling skills and pace, but the Old Lady is swapping him to bring Sancho to Turin.
This transfer seems like Juventus will be trading one of their best players for an average forward. Well, Manchester United will be acquiring one of the best wingers in the world. His skill set, flair, and goal-scoring prowess could be the missing piece that unlocks their attacking potential.
Federico Chiesa: The Dilemma
Frederico Chiesa rose to prominence in the 2020 Euro edition. He was one of the key players in helping Italy win the coveted title, and he has been a key player for Juventus. At the moment he is remaining 18 months in Turin and the arrival of the new manager (Thiago Motta) has brought uncertainty to Chiesa’s role at the club.
While Juventus are eager to keep Chiesa, as they have offered him a contract extension, there is a pay cut compared to the current deal. This move shows how Juventus are struggling financially, and they want to restructure their wage bill.
Chiesa is young and talented, and accepting a pay cut might be a bit hard. Another layer of complexity, the initial interest from other clubs, particularly Roma, appears to have cooled off. This might leave him to the deal that United is offering, as he will be exploring a new environment. Playing in the English Premier League might just be the opportunity to put him as a Ballon d’Or contender.
The Swap Deal
Rumors are going around that there might be a blockbuster swap deal involving Manchester United and Juventus. The names at the center of the storm, are Jadon Sancho and Federico Chiesa. For Juventus, Chiesa represents a valuable asset, but their desire to land Sancho might compel them to include him in a swap deal.
After a high-profile move from Borussia Dortmund, he failed to consistently replicate his previous form, and Sancho has struggled for form at Old Trafford. Juventus have admired this young forward talent as they believe he can be a beacon for the attacking. Speculations are going around that he has given the green light to Juventus if they offer the right value.
Looking Forward
Manchester United, interested in a swap deal involving Jadon Sancho, view Chiesa as a potential game-changer. His versatility, dribbling ability, and goal-scoring prowess would provide a much-needed attacking boost for the Red Devils. A Chiesa-Sancho swap would be a blockbuster move, United will get a good forward who can be more threat and Juventus will get a player who plays on both wings or even as an attacking midfielder.
If this transfer happens, both clubs will benefit, and it will be one of the best swap deals to happen in a long time if both players’ performance is above average. But it is the transfer window anything can happen so we cross our fingers to see this happening as soon as possible. Chiesa to Manchester United and Sancho to Juventus, here we go.
