Premier League giants Manchester United have identified a key member of the attacking setup at Juventus as a potential January addition, according to reports.
The player in question? Federico Chiesa.
It is, of course, common knowledge that the powers that be at Old Trafford are on the hunt for reinforcements in the final third, in particular out wide.
This comes with Antony unavailable for selection, and Jadon Sancho banished to the stands by boss Erik ten Hag.
The latter, it is reported, could even be on the move during the winter transfer window.
And, should such a move be forthcoming, then the United brass appear to have cast their gaze towards Italy in search of a replacement.
As per a report from Italian outlet Calciomercato, the Red Devils are giving consideration to a move for Juventus star Federico Chiesa.
After performing some way below his best amid ongoing efforts to recover from an ACL injury last season, wide-man Chiesa has since burst out of the gates this time round, looking much like his old self en route to five goal contributions in six appearances.
Such endeavours have given rise to suggestions in the media that the Juve hierarchy are already working towards tying their star man down for the long-term, courtesy of a new contract.
But, as per Calciomercato, Man United could yet throw a spanner in the works, by tempting Chiesa into a move to England.
Any such assault, it is claimed, would set the Premier League heavyweights back a minimum of €60 million.
