Juventus have put all their extensions on hold for now, and Federico Chiesa figures to be one of the thorniest ones. The winger has had an up-and-down season but is finishing strong.

Per La Gazzetta dello Sport, the parties have had the same stance for a few months. The outcome could be a compromise that postpones a proper solution to the next campaign. The Azzurri staple is under contract until 2025. The Bianconeri would be in a tough spot if he didn’t prolong it.

Chiesa earns €5M and would like a pay rise, instead Juventus want to keep their books in order and are unlikely to hand him a long-term contract with a higher salary. The solution to avoid drama in the upcoming months could be a one-year renewal at the same numbers. The front office and the player’s camp would then revisit things down the line.

Roma are waiting in the wings with a keen eye. They’d be very interested if the star became available, Corriere dello Sport informed. His Italy and Daniele De Rossi teammates have been working on convincing him. The Giallorossi need to qualify for the Champions League to have a shot.

Our Take on Juventus, Chiesa, and Roma

His wages are substantial but still at a fairly standard level, unlike Dusan Vlahovic’s ones. Given their economic problems, the suitors’ only chances are a Bosman departure in 2025 or a big-time swap with one of their linchpins since his price tag is still robust.
