There is no proof Chiesa is a Juve fan. I listened to his interviews and he said multiple times Kaka was his favorite player growing up so it's quite possible he was a milanista
I'm sure immediately after the transfer I read his father saying that Chiesa's dream was to play for Juventus since he was a kid.

"La mia squadra del cuore? Da piccolo non tifavo per nessuna squadra in particolare, mi piacevano i singoli giocatori e seguivo le loro squadre: prima il Milan per Kakà, poi la Juve per Del Piero e Buffon".

“My career has been brilliant and rewarding. Certainly I struggled, but I got rid of a lot of professional cravings. As a man I feel satisfied and serene. I have a beautiful family and two jewels of children. I have only one regret and when I think about it I can't help but get a little melancholy. That of having traveled far and wide the Italy of football, but of never having managed to wear the black and white Juventus shirt that has always represented my point of reference. Almost everyone in life can say they have an unfinished business in the drawer. Mine is this ”
In Italian
“La mia carriera è stata brillante e ricca di soddisfazioni. Certamente ho faticato, ma mi sono tolto un sacco di voglie professionali. Come uomo mi sento appagato e sereno. Ho una bella famiglia e due gioielli di figli. Ho un solo rincrescimento e quando ci penso non posso fare a meno di immalinconirmi un poco. Quello di aver girato in lungo e in largo l’Italia del pallone, ma di non essere mai riuscito a vestire la maglia bianconera della Juventus che ha sempre rappresentato il mio punto di riferimento. Quasi tutti nella vita possono dire di avere un’incompiuta nel cassetto. La mia è questa”.

So it was Enrico Chiesa's dream to play for Juventus...

So I think we can say that Federico will have a strong affinity to Juventus, and could spend most of his career here depending on our position and finances, but he's not an outright, hardcore supporter in the way that Marchisio was or Locatelli seems to be.

In a few weeks he'll be 24. If we sign a contract extension in 2023 for five years we'll lock him down for most of his best years. Let's hope our management won't mess it up.

The more potential top Italian players we can sign the better. It's not a Golden Generation by any means, but there are several under-25 Italian players around who are better than squad options we currently have. Some have already signed for other teams but the opportunity was there.

Chiesa leaving is no worry for me. An Italian at the top of his abilities has never left Juventus to play abroad and that will never happen unless they send us to Serie B again. That is why I think we should spend money to get the best Italians as soon as they start performing.

Unfortunately Verratti is more Parisian than Italian these days..

Pessina, Donnarumma, Raspadori.. are examples of players we should try to get.

Crazy enough we’re seeing the results of Italy being broke on the transfermarkt.

Donnarumma will find it hard to escape the "golden prison" so I'm ignoring him but Raspadori and Pessina are obvious ones at smaller clubs, as is Scamacca. At bigger clubs you have Zaniolo as the standout, but much depends on his injuries. Rovella, Ricci and Fagioli look extremely promising and fortunately we own two of them. Lucca and Vignato are two to monitor up front.

I can pick U20 players with high potential but the point I'm making is that by the time these players are 21 and playing Serie A football their talent will show if it is there. With Juve we often wait until a player plays several seasons, is 22-24, and we pay the big money or have to compete with wealthy foreign clubs.
