Manchester United and Tottenham have entered the race to sign Juventus and Italy star Federico Chiesa, according to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 26-year-old attacker, who netted 10 goals and provided three assists in 37 games last season, is attracting significant interest ahead of a potential summer transfer.

Chiesa has already been linked with Bayern Munich, Newcastle, Liverpool and Aston Villa.

His future at Juventus remains uncertain, with only a year left on his contract and no agreement on a renewal yet.

Federico Chiesa, who was instrumental in Italy’s Euro 2020 victory, has seen his market value drop to around £30-35 million due to his contract status and a previous serious knee injury.
