Although a deal won’t be simple to complete, FootballTransfers is aware of Tottenham’s excellent relationship with Federico Chiesa’s representatives.
The Italian winger is making headlines again after Juventus declared him open for transfer when Thiago Motta took over as head coach.
The 41-year-old strategist is unsure if Chiesa is a good fit for the system he wants to put in place, thus the Bianconeri are searching for potential replacements.
Spurs have the upper hand but struggle to deal.
Tottenham has long liked the player and expressed interest in him in January, but at the time, nothing firm came to fruition. But perhaps this time around will be different. We are aware that Spurs enjoy a great working relationship with Chiesa’s agents, and the club may benefit from the presence of Fabio Paratici.
Although he left his position as Spurs director in April 2023, Paratici remains in communication with the team’s recruitment department. It was Paratici that signed Chiesa to Juventus.
During the summer transfer window last year, the 52-year-old gave the north London team advice. Head coach Ange Postecoglou disclosed in January that “every now and then we’ll exchange messages or calls.”
According to reports, Paratici and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy are still on good terms, and we have confirmation that Paratici is still somewhat of a behind-the-scenes role. Sources claim that Tottenham will not have an easy time closing the transaction given the interest from other parties. The notion that they are ‘near’ to acquiring Chiesa has also been downplayed.
This is due to the fact that things are currently at a bit of a standstill and have been likened to a ‘chess game.’ Although no offers have come through thus far, Chiesa’s admirers are waiting for someone to take the initiative.
Juventus, on the other hand, is certain that they can start a bidding war because they are aware that many teams are vying for the signature of the Italy international.
