Manchester United could land Juventus striker Federico Chiesa at bargain price – Paper Round

Manchester United could land Juventus striker Federico Chiesa for just £20million.

That’s according to a report in The Sun, which claims Juventus are keen to offload the Italy international, with the Red Devils apparently interested.

“The Italy star has managed nine goals and two assists in 33 games this season.

“But his £150,000-a-week contract expires next year.

“And Fabrizio Romano claims that Chiesa is not in the plans of new coach Thiago Motta.

“Instead, they hope to land a new winger once Juventus complete a hat-trick in midfield.

“And it is thought Chiesa could be available for as little as £20m.

“Newcastle and Tottenham are long-term admirers of the 26-year-old, who joined Juve from Fiorentina in 2020 for £50m.

“But United could be in the driving seat for Chiesa as they hunt for a new wide forward.”

Liverpool are favorites to sign Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners.

The Reds could beat Juventus to the Netherlands international, who was admired by Jurgen Klopp when he was manager at Anfield.

“A new midfielder is on the agenda for Liverpool boss Arne Slot and it appears the Reds are now trying to capture Koopmeiners right under Juventus’ noses.

“A deal has been agreed between the two Italian clubs for the Dutchman’s signature, but Atalanta now prefer to give Koopemeiners to someone other than a Serie A rival.

“Jurgen Klopp was interested in bringing the midfielder to Anfield when he was in charge and his past wishes could come true should this deal be completed.

“Koopmeiners, 26, had expressed an interest in leaving Bergamo, so when Juventus offered him £3.5m he was keen to make a move.

“Despite agreeing terms with Juventus, Gazzetta dello Sport, according to Sport Witness, claim Liverpool are frontrunners for his signature. Atalanta have put the deal on hold since the player’s deal was completed, hoping they can sell Koopmeiners abroad and not to a direct rival.

“They value their player at £55m, which is the only obstacle if a deal is to be done with Liverpool and the Koopmeiners move to the Premier League.”

Chelsea have reportedly had a bid rejected for Atletico Madrid striker Samu Omorodion.

According to The Sun , the Blues have tabled a £42m bid for the Spain under-21 international – but Atleti are holding out for “at least £70m”.

“The Spain under-21 international has been likened to former Atletico and Chelsea icon Diego Costa.

“And with four years on the contract, the Spanish club is in a strong negotiating position.

“Omorodion has been identified by Chelsea’s owners and recruitment team led by Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart as he fits the club’s profile as a talented youngster with huge potential.

“But new head coach Enzo Maresca welcomed the pursuit.

“The Spain boss has made it clear he wants an extra striker to put pressure on current Chelsea leader Nicolas Jackson.”
