Juventus land rising star Chiesa in deal that could be worth €60M

Juventus made one final splash to close out a busy summer window, signing Federico Chiesa from Fiorentina on deadline day, the team announced.

The Italian winger, 22, joins the Scudetto holders on an initial two-year loan. The transfer includes an obligation to buy at the end of the 2021-22 season.

Juve will pay €3 million up front, €7 million for the second year of the deal, and then an additional €40 million to make the move permanent, assuming certain "sporting" clauses are achieved.

That final €40-million payment will be made over three years.

There are other performance-related clauses that could net Fiorentina an additional €10 million.

Chiesa, who has been shifted across various positions at Fiorentina, joins a Juventus side that has made a concerted effort to inject some youth into what was an aging, languid squad last season under Maurizio Sarri.

New manager Andrea Pirlo suddenly has a crop of intriguing young talents to work with, though it remains to be seen where the Italian international will fit into the puzzle.
