Federico Chiesa has rejected £63million bids from unnamed clubs this summer. Now it has been revealed Manchester United and Chelsea were among those top clubs.
Fiorentina, were keen on selling Chiesa but wanted upwards of £60m for the youngster.
Despite the big transfer offer, Chiesa decided to stay in Serie A.
‘It was the best choice, and knowing that I’m worth so much does not detract from my sleep, nor does it affect my life.
‘Prices in recent years have skyrocketed and I’m simply going to try and not think about it.’
Chiesa scored 6 goals and provided nine assists in 38 appearances last season.
