Liverpool has made an initial approach to sign Juventus midfielder Federico Chiesa this summer, marking a significant update in the Reds' summer transfer business. This news will undoubtedly please Liverpool fans who have been eagerly awaiting updates on potential new signings.
While there haven't been any official announcements of new signings from Liverpool, the club has been making concrete efforts behind the scenes to bring in fresh talent. The Reds' summer may have seemed quiet, but it's far from being uneventful.
Targeting Italy's Federico Chiesa
According to recent updates from journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has set its sights on Italy international Federico Chiesa. Arne Slot’s side reportedly sees the Juventus player as a possible option for the final days of the transfer window and has made an initial approach to bring him to Anfield this summer.
Chiesa is one of several players that Juventus have put up for sale this summer as they continue their rebuild under Thiago Motta. The 26-year-old Italy international is already preparing for his departure from Turin club ahead of a potential move.
However, Liverpool isn't alone in its interest in Chiesa; Barcelona also reportedly wants him but is currently held back by their lack of funds. As it stands now, Liverpool holds an advantage due to Juventus' eagerness to sell and Barcelona's financial constraints.
Exploring deal conditions
The Reds are said to be exploring conditions of a deal with Chiesa who seems keen on moving over to Anfield. Known for his speed and skillfulness as a winger capable of playing anywhere across the front three positions, he could be an excellent addition to their team. Chiesa predominantly plays as a left-winger but can function effectively in Mohamed Salah’s right-wing position too if needed. His inclusion could make Liverpool's attack, which already boasts Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Salah, one of the most formidable in the Premier League.
Chiesa's move to Liverpool could potentially end the club’s links to Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon. Gordon has also expressed interest in moving to Anfield but may have to reconsider his options if Chiesa joins the Reds.
While no official announcements have been made yet about Chiesa's transfer to Liverpool, it seems that significant progress is being made behind closed doors. If successful, this move could significantly strengthen Liverpool's attacking prowess and make them an even more formidable force in the Premier League.
