Juventus head coach Thiago Motta recently addressed the uncertain future of Federico Chiesa and the expectations placed on Dusan Vilhovic for the upcoming 2024-25 Serie A season. Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport reporters in Continassa, Motta highlighted the complications surrounding Chesa’s contract situation and emphasized Wilhovic’s role and responsibilities within the team.
Federico Chiesa’s Uncertain Future
Federico Chiesa, entering the final year of his contract with Juventus, finds himself at a crossroads. Despite his outstanding contributions to the team, including creating the most chances and completing the most dribbles in Serie A last season, his future remains uncertain. Juventus offered Chiesa a new contract before the end of last season, but he has yet to accept it. With his contract set to expire next summer, Juventus are keen to avoid losing him on a free transfer and would prefer to cash in on the Italy international if a renewal is not agreed soon. .
There was talk of Chiesa possibly moving to Roma, but instead, the Giallorossi have agreed a deal with Juventus for Matias Soule. Meanwhile, Chiesa’s situation has attracted the interest of other Serie A clubs such as Napoli and several Premier League teams. As Juventus prepare for the new season in Germany, Chiesa is notably absent from the traveling squad for pre-season matches.
Motta’s comments about Chiesa were measured, saying, “Federico is still part of Juventus, then we’ll see.” The statement suggests that despite Chisa remaining a Juventus player, he is likely to leave before the transfer window closes.
Dusan Vlahovic is Thiago Motta’s new Hero
Responding to questions about Dusan Vlahovic, Motta stressed the importance of the Serbian striker to the team just scoring goals. Vlahovic, who led Juventus in Serie A with 16 last season, faces significant expectations as the team’s leading striker. Motta emphasized that Vlahovic’s responsibilities go beyond scoring goals, highlighting his overall contribution to the team’s play.
“There is no pressure on Vlahoch, but a big responsibility,” Motta said. “Doosan’s work cannot be measured by just scoring goals. In football you have to do many things, and he knows how to do them. He is an important player, but as I said from the beginning “A great talent always needs a team.”
Looking ahead
Federico Chiesa’s future at Juventus is uncertain, with a transfer still unlikely. In contrast, Dusan Vlahovic is set to play a key role for the team in the upcoming season, shouldering the burden of his responsibilities while focusing on his wider contribution to the team’s success.
As Juventus face these challenges, Motta’s leadership will be crucial in guiding the team through a period of potential change and ensuring that key players like Wilhovic continue to perform at their best.
