Federico Chiesa at Milan but only on one condition

Fiorentina star Federico Chiesa is been linked with a big money move to AC Milan. A difficult but not impossible feat for technical director Leonardo.

A name that appeals to fans and that would complete an offensive department that is slowly taking shape. Federico Chiesa enters AC Milan’s orbit, reports La Gazzetta dello Sport, and fans could not be more excited. It’s premature to talk about negotiations but the approval of the Rossoneri for the right winger is certified and the appreciation of Federico for Milan destination must be recorded. However we are just at the beginning and competition from Juventus is strong. Inter are also interested but Milan is no longer in the shadows.

Waiting for UEFA’s sanctions, which could limit the next transfer session, it is clear that access to the next edition of Champions League is essential to win the race for Federico Chiesa. Fiorentina had slapped a 70 million euros price on 20 year old Italy international this summer.

A very high, but legitimate, evaluation of Chiesa and for this reason the revenues that would be guaranteed by participation in UCL 2019-2020 could put Milan in better conditions to close a deal. Elliott, without the limitations of the Financial Fair Play, could easily afford the right winger, but the FFP parameters must be respected to avoid another UEFA ban.
