Last season, Chiesa featured 33 times in Serie A, scoring nine goals and providing three assists. Despite some poor results, the Italy international helped the Old Lady finish third and secure Champions League qualification.
Disappointingly, though, Juventus trailed Inter Milan, who won the Scudetto, by an eye-watering 23 points, dropping the curtain on Massimiliano Allegri's spell in charge. The Italian giants have since appointed Thiago Motta as their new head coach and, with a rebuild in the works, Chiesa suddenly faces an uncertain future.
Last week, CaughtOffside reported that Arsenal joined Tottenham and Liverpool in the race to sign the Juventus ace, who could be available for around €25m (£21.1m) this summer. The report added that Ange Postecoglou has asked executives at Spurs to prioritise signing Chiesa.
However, now, it's been revealed by Gazzetta dello Sport that the Italian wants to join Manchester United instead. The Italian newspaper claims Chiesa would prefer a move to Old Trafford despite Erik ten Hag only managing to secure Europa League football.
Gazzetta dello Sport adds that the Arsenal and Tottenham target expects to be sold by Juventus, who fear he will otherwise run down his deal and leave for free. Last year, during an international break with Italy, Chiesa was quizzed on his future amid links to Liverpool.
As quoted by the Mirror, he said: "I am here working with the international team and our goal in the Nations League, then we will see. I am at Juventus and I am thinking about Juventus."
Chiesa has since kept his cards close to his chest. Earlier this month, Motta provided an update on the forward. Speaking to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, the new Juventus boss said: "Federico is still part of Juventus at the moment, then we’ll see."
