Italian forward Federico Chiesa now remains at Juventus<\/a> after the club activated their option to buy the player from Fiorentina, according to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>. Fiorentina receives \u20ac40 million from Juventus, but also \u20ac10 million in add-ons. Juventus has already paid Fiorentina \u20ac10 million to have Chiesa on loan.<\/p>\n

Federico Chiesa Remains at Juventus On Permanent Basis<\/h2>\n

An Important Player<\/h3>\n

Chiesa picked up a serious ACL injury in January<\/a>, keeping him out of the rest of the season. He has yet to return, which isn’t a surprise coming from an injury like that, but he should be ready to go for next season.<\/p>\n

That’s good news for Juventus as Chiesa will be crucial. Creative star Paulo Dybala is already on his way out<\/a> of the club, meaning the Italian will hold a major role next season. The positive, however, is that Juventus now lays claim to forward Dusan Vlahovic<\/a>. He’s one of the most talented young strikers in football. Vlahovic is also increasingly looking like the best striker in Serie A.<\/p>\n

Before his injury, Chiesa had two goals and three assists in 14 Serie A appearances this season. He also had two goals and an assist in four Champions League appearances. Last season, Chiesa had eight goals and eight assists in 30 Serie A appearances. Last summer, he also starred in Italy’s victorious UEFA Euro 2020 championship run. He’s a very versatile forward – being able to play both wing spots as well as right behind the striker.<\/p>\n

At 24-years-old, Chiesa represents the future of the Juventus attack alongside Vlahovic. Juventus will be going through major changes as Dybala was a constant in the attack of legends such as Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci are getting older. The club always has a major Italian name in the squad and it looks as if this title will belong to Chiesa.<\/p>\n
