Juventus had a £50 million bid turned down flat in the summer but Sarri is weighing up making a move for him in January. Sarri remains a fan of Chiesa, who started during Fiorentina’s 3-0 rout of Napoli towards the end of last season, a game which effectively killed off Sarri’s side’s title chances. Chiesa admitted he had chosen to stay in Florence instead of leave the club in the summer, but could be tempted once Chelsea come knocking. Following Juventus’ £50 million bid in the summer, Chiesa explained that he believed his future would be better shaped at Fiorentina. “Fiorentina refused offers of £63 million,” Chiesa said to Corriere Della Sera.
