# Serie A expert claims Federico Chiesa should join Chelsea instead of Man City

**[Forza Italian Football](https://forzaitalianfootball.com/) editor Conor Clancy has urged Euro 2020 star Federico Chiesa to join Chelsea ahead of their Premier League rivals.**

Chiesa, who joined Juventus from Serie A rivals Fiorentina for a potential fee of [£54million](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54425259) last October, scored [two goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/federico-chiesa/nationalmannschaft/spieler/341092/hauptwettbewerb/EM/verein_id/3376) in seven appearances as Italy were crowned European champions last month.

According to German media outlet [Bild](https://sportbild.bild.de/fussball/international/fussball-international/juventus-turin-laesst-liverpool-und-klopp-mit-mega-angebot-abblitzen-77185624.sport.html), Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea made a move for Chiesa as they seek to build on last season’s Champions League win. The report suggests Juventus rejected the offer, thought to be in the region of €100million, from the west London club.

Premier League rivals Liverpool also failed with a similar bid for the 23-year-old, according to [La Repubblica](https://www.repubblica.it/sport/calcio/mercato/2021/07/24/news/juventus_liverpool_cento_milioni_chiesa-311486140/).

Italian media outlet [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/juventus-anche-guardiola-vuole-chiesa-11902) have reported Premier League title holders Manchester City, along with Bayern Munich, are keeping tabs on Chiesa as well.

But Serie A expert Clancy, who has watched Chiesa closely during the early years of his career, believes Chiesa would produce his best form at Stamford Bridge.

He told The Transfer Tavern: *“I think he would fit in better at Chelsea.*

*“Obviously, working with Pep Guardiola at City would be unbelievable for him and Italy. But he is the type of player that you don’t want to be part of a bigger system, which you often see with Guardiola teams.”*
