The transfer saga involving Juventus' winger Federico Chiesa continues.
According to Diario Sport, Barcelona has definitively abandoned the idea of acquiring the Italian footballer. The club is currently unable to afford the €12 million needed for a new player, and there is no room in Barcelona’s wage structure for Chiesa.
It is known that all of Barcelona's financial efforts are currently focused on registering Dani Olmo in time for tomorrow’s La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano.
Previously, Juventus head coach Thiago Motta officially stated that Chiesa is not in his plans. The player has only one year left on his contract with the Turin club.
Additionally, Barcelona has registered their academy product Ansu Fati for the upcoming season. Fati spent last season on loan at Brighton.
