Juventus weigh mid-season loans for Chiesa and García, La Gazzetta reports
Juventus examine loan options for Federico Chiesa and Gonzalo García, per La Gazzetta report today
Juventus are reported to be exploring temporary moves for two fringe forwards this winter as they look to bolster their attacking options. La Gazzetta dello Sport says the Turin club have shown interest in a return for Federico Chiesa and in a loan for Real Madrid forward Gonzalo García.
The report adds that midfield and the wing back positions require reinforcement, but the forward department could also see additions if Juventus are to sustain recent good form. Chiesa is a particular target because of his versatility and familiarity with Italian football. The Italy international joined Liverpool from the Serie A side in 2024 but an injury-ravaged debut season limited his impact and Arne Slot has largely ignored him since the beginning of the current campaign despite some impressive showings from the bench.
Juve are keen to source an alternative to Kenan Yıldız on the flank to ensure the precocious 20-year-old isn’t overworked. Chiesa’s versatility and knowledge of Italian football are considered major positives. Chiesa’s possible return is a “tantalising” prospect for Juve executives but any move would depend on Liverpool’s willingness to sanction a temporary exit. The Reds have used him sparingly this season but find themselves short on options heading into 2026 following Alexander Isak’s long-term injury and Mohamed Salah’s absence at the Africa Cup of Nations.
García is also linked with a spell in Italy. The 21-year-old made an unexpected impact at the FIFA Club World Cup and has served as Xabi Alonso’s backup No. 9 this term, appearing mainly from the bench. He has started just three matches in all competitions for Los Blancos this season and has attracted Premier League interest, according to the same coverage. Juventus are reportedly considering a loan with an option or obligation to buy for the young Spaniard, though it is unclear whether Real Madrid would permit an exit after they allowed Endrick to join Lyon on loan for the second half of the season.
