According to a report in Sports Mediaset, Juventus could look to sell rumoured Tottenham target Federico Chiesa for a cut-price fee.
Chiesa was widely seen as one of the best attackers in Serie A a couple of years ago but his stock has fallen since, partly down to the various injuries he has suffered since the start of last year (Tranfermarkt).
It first emerged around a month ago that the 26-year-old was the subject of interest from the Premier League ahead of January, with Tottenham and Newcastle both said to be eyeing a move for the player (CMW).
It was subsequently reported by Calciomercato.it two weeks ago that the Old Lady had held preliminary talks with the Italy international over a new deal.
However, the outlet explained that the former Fiorentina man was demanding a salary of €7m (£6.1m) per season, which the Serie A giants were not willing to offer.

Federico Chiesa may be available at a discount
Sports Mediaset have now also backed up the claim regarding the Magpies and Spurs both circling around Chiesa.
It is explained that time is not on Juve’s side since the player will only have 18 months left on his deal by January.
The Italian news outlet suggest that if the Bianconeri fail to tie down Chiesa to a new deal before the transfer window opens, they might be open to selling him for a ‘discounted price’.
Spurs Web Opinion
I have no doubt that quite a few Premier League sides (potentially including Spurs) would test the waters with an offer for Chiesa in January if he does not pen a new contract. However, clubs will be wary of paying too big a fee for the Italian, given the injury issues he has had over the last two years.
