Federico Chiesa says he was pushed out of Juventus
Federico Chiesa chose to leave Italian football in the summer of 2024 for Liverpool and England. Now, the attacking player is putting words to the abrupt exit, saying he was pressured to leave Juventus a year before his contract expired.
“I would like to go back to Juventus. I would never leave the club myself. It was also said that I demanded a lot of money (to extend the contract), but the truth is different: I was never offered a contract extension. We didn’t even talk about it. Giuntoli and Thiago Motta said to me: ‘Federico, we don’t need you. Find yourself a new club,” says Chiesa.
Which still keeps the door open for the Serie A giant.
“It ended up being good for me because I came to one of the world’s five biggest clubs, Liverpool. But Juventus will always have a special place in my heart, and I want to go back. I’ve never talked about money with Juventus, and I never will,” Chiesa said.
