Spy deal: Barcelona snatches Juventus outcast Chiesa at a discount

The Italy international, Chiesa, is on the market at Juve as coach Thiago Motta has confirmed that he does not see him as part of his future plans.

Jijantes says Chiesa is now a priority target for Barca.

He is the most viable option considering the low price tag. Juventus are willing to sell Chiesa for around €15m, as they do not want to risk a Bosman transfer next year.

The 26-year-old has 32 goals and 23 assists in 131 competitive matches for Juventus.
