Report claims 26-year-old Arsenal & Tottenham target prefers joining Man Utd

Juventus star Federico Chiesa reportedly prefers a move to Manchester United this summer amid interest from several other English clubs. 

The 26-year-old has been an important member of the first-team, scoring nine goals in 33 Serie A appearances last season. 

But manager Thiago Motta doesn’t consider him an indispensable asset and the Old Lady are open to selling him in this transfer window. 

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have been credited with an interest but Gazzetta dello Sport suggests the Italian prefers a move to Manchester United. 

A deal for Chiesa, who has entered the final year of his contract at the Allianz Stadium, could cost United around €25-30 million. 

The Manchester giants have already signed Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, but manager Erik ten Hag wants further reinforcements before the transfer window closes. 

Noussair Mazraoui appears close to joining the Red Devils after they reached a verbal agreement with Bayern Munich. 

The Premier League outfit are also pursuing deals for Matthijs de Ligt and Manuel Ugarte. 

Erik ten Hag’s side may not afford to sign Federico Chiesa unless they offload more players. 

United are prepared to let Jadon Sancho leave for €60 million amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain. 

The Parisians have reached an agreement in principle with Sancho but the two clubs are yet to agree terms with each other. 

The Red Devils are also open to offers for Scott McTominay, Casemiro, Antony, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof. But they may struggle to offload all of them due to their high wages.
