In a revealing interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Federico Chiesa has shared his feelings about leaving Juventus, expressing both his continued affection for the club and the reasons behind his departure.
“Juventus? I still love the club. Returning there one day? Why not…” Chiesa said, making it clear that his bond with the Bianconeri remains strong despite his exit.
The Italian winger also shed light on the role new Juventus manager Thiago Motta played in his departure:
“Thiago Motta didn’t want me there. He told me that I was not part of his plans, and should go find a team.”
Chiesa’s comments confirm that his move away from Turin wasn’t by choice, but rather the result of being excluded from Motta’s vision for the club’s future. While disappointed, the 26-year-old holds no bitterness and remains open to a possible return down the line.
As Chiesa begins a new chapter, his remarks will undoubtedly resonate with Juventus fans who still admire him—and may now question the club’s decision to move on from one of Italy’s brightest attacking talents.
