Juventus manager Thiago Motta has confirmed that Federico Chiesa and several other players not included in today’s match squad are no longer part of the club’s future plans. Motta stated, “Chiesa and all the other players not called up for today’s game are NOT part of the project.”
Players to Seek New Clubs
Motta emphasised the club’s stance, saying, “We have been clear with them, they have to find new solution and new club as soon as possible.” He added, “The decision has been made.”
Background on Chiesa’s Situation
Recent developments have indicated that Chiesa’s future at Juventus has been uncertain for some time. On 3 August, it was reported that Chiesa was omitted from the squad amid transfer plans. Earlier, on 25 July, Motta had commented on Chiesa’s future, and on 5 July, Juventus set a €25 million price tag for the winger. The club had already announced plans to sell Chiesa this summer on 4 July, following discussions about his future on 9 June.
Chiesa, a 26-year-old winger, has been with Juventus since 2020, having previously played for Fiorentina. Known for his pace and dribbling skills, Chiesa has been a significant player for both club and country.
