Report: Liverpool & Bayern Munich Had Bids Rejected for Chelsea Target Federico Chiesa in the Summer

Chelsea were heavily linked with the Italian during the summer but Juventus had 'no intention' of letting the forward leave.

It was previously reported that the Blues attempted to secure his services ahead of the current season but were told that a €100 million fee would not be enough to bring him to West London.

It has also been reported that Chelsea will launch a bid for the Juventus star in the 'coming months' as Thomas Tuchel is a huge admirer of the 23-year-old.

Chiesa impressed against Chelsea in the Champions League this season, scoring against Tuchel's side in a 1-0 win for Juventus

Speaking after the game, Chiesa praised Chelsea as he said: "It was a tough game, Chelsea were very good in possession."

It remains to be seen as to whether his future remains in Italy but if the Serie A side do not qualify for the Champions League this season, a move could be on the cards for the Italian.
