Juventus dream of Chiesa return from Liverpool as Yildiz backup: the situation | OneFootball

Juventus are sticking to a measured approach in the January transfer window, but that does not mean the Bianconeri have taken their eye off potential opportunities, especially when it comes to Federico Chiesa.

After the opening week of the market, the message from Turin is clear: no panic buys and no rushed decisions.

Instead, Juventus are intent on strengthening specific areas only if the right conditions present themselves, while maintaining balance between arrivals and departures. It is a strategy built on patience rather than urgency.

Chiesa return on Juventus radar as Yildiz backup

Within that framework, Chiesa remains a name very much on the club’s radar.

According to IlBianconero, Juventus continue to monitor the Liverpool winger’s situation closely, viewing him as the ideal profile to support Kenan Yildiz.

The Turkish international has no natural deputy in the current squad and has been heavily relied upon, making the search for a reliable alternative increasingly important.

A player like Chiesa would offer Juventus flexibility across the front line, allowing Yildiz to be rotated without a drop in quality and even opening the door to both being used together in certain attacking setups. His familiarity with the club and the league only adds to his appeal.

For now, Juventus are studying the financial and contractual conditions required to make a move feasible. No decision is imminent, but the interest is genuine. Chiesa remains a clear objective, one Juventus are prepared to pursue if the right window opens.
