Ivan Reggiani discussed Chiesa’s situation for Calciomercato TV – and predicted a £100million move to England.
Reggiani said: “I think there are very serious and important foreign pressures on him.
“Appreciated across the Channel [in England], he is heavily supported by Cristiano Ronaldo.
“I think Federico can leave Juventus very soon. It can easily exceed one hundred million.
“There are not only United: there are two to three clubs that could reach €120-130m [£100-110m].”
Chelsea will also reportedly make a move for Chiesa at the end of the season.
The Blues allegedly had an £85million bid rebuffed by Juventus in the summer.
Chiesa is a just over a year into his two-year loan spell in Turin, with Juve having an obligation to sign him permanently next year for a fee of around £43m.
