Barcelona to pay 12 million euros for Chiesa, Sancho on Juve's horizon

Barcelona and Juventus have reached an agreement on the transfer of Federico Chiesa for 12 million euros. The left winger has already agreed a three-season contract with an option for a fourth with the Catalans.

His salary will be four million euros a year with a further two million euros depending on his performance, which will not have to be particularly impressive to provide him with the extra money, according to reports in Italy.

His signing, like that of Dani Olmo following a transfer from Leipzig, is subject to the board completing the necessary steps to make room on their balance sheet.

Hours before this information was published, 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' placed Arsenal and Chelsea on the list of suitors for the Italian should the Spaniards fail to make the necessary space in their squad.

Juventus are trying to move forward with the departure of Federico Chiesa to speed up negotiations with Manchester United for Jadon Sancho.
