Juventus are set to re-establish contact with the entourage of Tottenham Hotspur target Anthony Martial after Fiorentina rejected their overtures for Federico Chiesa.
The 20-year-old Italian winger’s future at Fiorentina has come under the scanner due to interest from across Europe, but La Viola are determined to keep hold of him this summer.
Manchester City showed an interest in Chiesa, but Fiorentina went with the tough stance of not even entertaining any negotiations and they have done the same with interest from Juventus.
The Italian champions probed the possibility of signing the young winger, but Fiorentina rejected the enquiry and made it clear that Chiesa is not available for a move.
And according to Italian broadcaster Sport Mediaset, the Bianconeri have been forced to turn towards their long term target Martial after being rebuffed by Fiorentina.
