Juventus have reportedly placed a €60m (£51m) price tag on star winger Federico Chiesa amid interest from the likes of Liverpool and Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old has been hampered with injuries over the last two seasons and was reduced to just 11 starts and 22 substitute outings in all competitions during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring four goals and registering six assists.
Chiesa has previously shown his talent for club and country, though, contributing with 15 goals and 11 assists in 46 games during his first year at Juve in 2020-21 before starring for Italy in their triumphant Euro 2020 campaign.
However, there have been suggestions that Juve are prepared to cash in on the winger due to their well-documented financial concerns.
The Old Lady were deducted 10 points in 2022-23 in a new ruling by the Italian football federation following an investigating into the club's transfer dealings and ended the campaign in seventh place, securing a spot in next season's Europa Conference League.

With Juve missing out on Champions League football, a number of star names have since been linked with a summer exit including Chiesa, who is thought to have attracted interest from several top European clubs.
Liverpool are understood to have revived their interest in Chiesa after seeing a big-money bid in the region of £86m turned down by Juve two summers ago.
Real Madrid are also believed to be keeping tabs on Chiesa's situation, and could step up their interest following the departure of Paris Saint-Germain-bound Marco Asensio upon the expiration of his contract.
According to Calciomercato, Chiesa will be allowed to leave Juventus this summer if the Italian club receives an offer of at least €60m (£51m).
The report adds that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp 'adores' the former Fiorentina man and has requested the Reds' hierarchy to make a summer move for the winger.

Chiesa, who is under contract in Turin until the summer of 2025, has refused to rule out a possible departure from Juventus, but has insisted that he is only thinking about the off-season.
"I'm happy with how I finished, it was a really difficult year for me," Chiesa told reporters as quoted by Calciomercato.
"Now I'm only thinking about the holidays, then from next season I'll start preparing already from the summer training camp.
"Reopening [talks] with me? We'll see, I'm at Juventus and I'm thinking about Juventus."
The likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be closely monitoring Chiesa, who scored in Italy's 3-2 win over the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League third-place playoff on Sunday.
