Juventus are open to offers for winger Federico Chiesa this summer, reports Fabrizio Romano.
No progress has been made over talks regarding a new deal, and it is said that the 26-year-old is set to discuss his future with his representatives when he returns from the UEFA European Championship with Italy.
Chiesa will enter the final year of his contract with the Bianconeri at the end of the month, after making 37 appearances across all competitions for the Serie A side last season.

Chiesa was a standout performer for Italy as they secured a 2-1 victory over Albania in their European Championship opener on Saturday.
