A cousin of mine who's a Juve season ticket holder reckons their motives for letting Chiesa (whom he continues to rate highly) leave the club are pretty mixed and have as much to do with their need to raise cash as with anything else. In his view the fact that Motta's said what he said about the player shouldn't necessarily be taken at face value and could well be at least partly down to internal pressures.
That makes more sense to me.
Juve blew a lot of cash when they brought Ronaldo in - even though that was 6-7 years ago, the financial costs of that are still being felt today at Juve.
