Juventus response to Chelsea's offer

However, it is understood that Juventus are not ready to be involved in negotiations for their player despite the mouth-watering offer from Chelsea.

Chiesa was one of the best players for the Biaconeri last season despite finishing fourth in Serie A and surrendering the league title to rivals Inter Milan.

He scored eight league goals for the Old Lady and four Champions League strikes as well as winning the Coppa Italia last term.

Chiesa's Euro 2020 campaign

The 23-year-old helped Italy win Euro 2020 and scored two goals in his seven appearances in the tournament this summer.

The pacy winger put the Azzurri ahead against Spain in the semi-finals and scored in extra time to send Roberto Mancini's side into the quarter-finals.

Despite not being in Mancini's starting lineup in their first two opening group games against Turkey and Switzerland, the Juventus star made a huge impact for the Italians as they progressed in the finals.

The former star was a thorn in the flesh in the final game against the Three Lions and was substituted due to a suspected foot injury.
