Liverpool is actively working on finalizing a deal with Juventus for the transfer of Federico Chiesa. The unexpected interest in the winger came just days before the transfer window closes. Reliable sources, including David Ornstein of The Athletic, have confirmed that Liverpool is determined to complete the signing and is ready to proceed with the necessary steps to secure Chiesa’s services. The Italian international is available for a bargain price of around €15 million (£12.7m), making him an enticing prospect for Liverpool.
There have been concerns raised about Chiesa’s injury record, particularly his ACL injury in the 2021/22 season. However, Liverpool seems confident in their medical team’s ability to manage his fitness and believe that he can overcome his injury woes. Last season, Chiesa featured in 37 games for Juventus, showcasing his ability to stay fit and contribute consistently. He scored 10 goals and provided three assists while playing in various attacking roles, highlighting his versatility—an attractive quality for Liverpool.
Chiesa has predominantly played as a right winger throughout his career, and with a potential gap behind Mohamed Salah, it makes sense for Liverpool to strengthen their options in that area. The Reds have until the Friday deadline to finalize the deal, and all indications suggest that they will be successful in bringing Juventus’ No. 7 to Anfield. Exciting times lie ahead for Liverpool fans as they anticipate the completion of this transfer.
In other news, Liverpool has also made an announcement regarding the signing of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. However, the young shot-stopper will spend the current season on loan at Valencia before joining Liverpool next year. This signing further strengthens Liverpool’s goalkeeping department and adds depth to their squad.
