Juventus star Federico Chiesa has reportedly turned down offers from Manchester United and Chelsea to join Barcelona this summer.



The Italy international has entered the last year of his contract with the Bianconeri and he is expected to be sold in the coming days.

United and Chelsea recently made proposals to land his signature, but the 26-year-old has parked their offers after interest shown from Barcelona.

The Fiorentina graduate currently earns a net salary of €6m per year and he is prepared to accept a 25 percent pay-cut in order to join the Catalan giants.

Barcelona have already received the green light from manager Hansi Flick for the transfer and a formal approach could be made pretty soon.

Juventus are desperate to offload Chiesa. They have decided to lower their asking price to just €15m with the transfer window closing soon.

Atletico Madrid have also been linked with Chiesa in recent weeks, but the Italian has his sights on moving to the Blaugrana this month.
