Chelsea are reportedly ‘preparing a fresh bid for Italy star Federico Chiesa in summer transfer window’ after Juventus loan

The Blues has been planning this new bid for Italy’s EURO 2020 hero at the end of the season after failing in their bid to land the Italian this summer.

Chiesa, who is currently on loan at Juventus from Fiorentina, played a starring role for Italy when they won Euro 2020 this summer and was included in UEFA's Team of the Tournament.

His standout performances attracted the attention of some of Europe's heavyweight clubs, with Thomas Tuchel’s side reportedly offering around £85m for the player and Liverpool and Bayern Munich also showing keen interest in him.

But the Old Ladies were not prepared to entertain offers for Chiesa, who is considered 'untouchable' by the club's hierarchy and a vital part of the project going forward.

The 23-year-old Italian ace is just over a year into his two-year loan spell in Turin, with Juventus having an obligation to sign him permanently next year for a fee of around £43m.

The Black and Whites will make the signing permanent at the end of the season, but will immediately face competition to keep him, with Chelsea already preparing an offer. Calciomercato reports.

Chiesa played 43 times for Juventus last season, scoring 14 goals, including a brace against rivals AC Milan in a 3-1 away win at the San Siro.

The Italian giants have endured a difficult start this season and currently sit ninth in Serie A, losing twice and conceding ten goals in their opening six games.

After selling their talisman Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United, Chiesa has become an even more integral part of the Juventus attack.

Chiesa is following in the footsteps of his legendary father Enrico, who is remembered as one of Serie A's all-time greats after winning titles with Sampdoria, Parma and Fiorentina.

Unlike his father, however, Chiesa has yet to win a league title, with Juventus beaten to the Serie A title by Inter Milan last season, ending their nine-year spell of dominance in Italy.
