Barcelona is actively seeking a left winger before the transfer window closes, but their current financial troubles are hindering this effort. Although they have signed Dani Olmo, a standout midfielder from the Spanish national team and Leipzig, they have yet to complete his registration.
In an unexpected twist, Federico Chiesa of Juventus has shown interest in leaving the club this summer to resolve his issues with the team. According to La Repubblica, Chiesa is willing to lower his salary to facilitate a move to Barcelona.
Chiesa, who currently earns €6 million annually at Juventus, is reportedly open to a deal with Barcelona where he would earn €4.5 million per year over two or three seasons. He has reportedly turned down other offers, choosing to prioritize his sporting goals over financial considerations.
Reports suggest that Barcelona is aiming to spend no more than €10 million on Chiesa, while Juventus is asking for €15 million. Barcelona’s need for a new left winger has heightened their interest in Chiesa recently.
