Manchester United ‘is approaching £ 50 million more for Fiorentina’s move Federico Chiesa’ … but the 22-year-old winger needs to ‘convince’ having previously admitted the desire to stay in Serie A
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly approaching a move for Fiorentina star Federico Chiesa – but the 22-year-old will need ‘extra convincing’ to leave Serie A.
The Corriere Fiorentino, which extensively covers Fiorentina, reports that an agreement of over £ 50 million “is close to the agreement” but some doubts remain on the part of the Church regarding the transition to the Premier League.
Solskjaer is eager to strengthen himself to the right with Jadon Sancho of Borussia Dortmund who appears to be the club’s main target.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants another attacker and is said to be targeting a move for Church
But with Dortmund holding out for around £ 100 million, that move may prove far too extensive in the first transfer window since the coronavirus pandemic began in March.
Sportsmail it revealed exclusively in February that Solskjaer sent one of his trusted helpers to personally go look for Chiesa in a 1-1 draw with AC Milan.
Since joining the first team in 2016, Chiesa has been a hit for La Viola, but especially for his suitors, it will likely cost in the £ 50-60 million range.

Chiesa – the son of the former Italian striker Enrico – is considered one of the best young potentials in Italy and will be an integral part of his team for the European championship next summer.
Yet he should be convinced to leave Serie A this summer, he may be available given that Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso refused to close the outgoing door.
Speaking to reporters last month, Commisso said: ‘If Church wants, then she can leave, but only for the amount we have set.
‘It’s a different matter for Gaetano Castrovilli, since he told me he wanted to stay in Florence.
The 22-year-old will be authorized to leave the club if they receive an offer of £ 50-60 million
“If Chiesa goes, then Castrovilli can have the number 10 shirt.”
Chiesa has made seven goals for Fiorentina this season and is typically deployed as a winger, but he can also be comfortable in a role no. 10 or in the middle.
With Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial two of the top three players in the United attack, competition for emerging Mason Greenwood in last place is vital as Solskjaer continues to build a team to compete for important honors.
