TOP STORY: Dortmund see Chiesa as Haaland replacement
Borussia Dortmund will move for Juventus star Federico Chiesa as a replacement for Erling Haaland next summer, according to Calciomercato.
Chiesa was a standout performer at Euro 2020 after helping Italy win the tournament, but Juventus could demand a club record fee if they are to part ways with one of the brightest talents in world football.
The Serie A side has reportedly rejected a number of approaches for Chiesa, with Chelsea and Liverpool rumoured to be have been prepared to pay around €100 million during the summer.
