Liverpool can sign the goalkeeper long-term in a bargain deal for just £21million
Liverpool have received a major boost in their pursuit of Juventus star Federico Chiesa.
According to a report by GiveMeSport, the Merseyside team has been chasing Chiesa for a long time and is looking at the status of his contract with the Serie A team.
With 10 goals and three assists in 37 games at the end of the 2023-24 season, the Italian helped his side finish in the top four and win the Coppa Italia.
Liverpool scouts are said to have watched the Coppa Italia final, where Chiesa was instrumental in Juventus’ 1-0 win over Atalanta to win their first title in three years.
Now, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that the Italian giants are ready to part with the wide attacker.
With the player entering the final year of his contract at Juventus, they are ready to let him leave the club for €25m (£21m).
New Juventus manager Thiago Motta does not see the player as part of his future plans as Romano confirmed in an update on his X account.
He wrote:
“Juventus are looking at a price tag of around €25m with add-ons for Federico Chiesa as the current deal expires in June 2025, subject to extension.
“Juventus is determined to sell Chiesa, who is currently not part of Thiago Motta’s plans, as confirmed yesterday.”

Chiesa will add a new dimension to Liverpool’s attack
The Juventus striker will add versatility to Liverpool’s attack as he can play on the flanks and in the middle.
Chiesa is known for his speed and ability to run in wide areas, something Liverpool have in abundance with the likes of Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.
However, the Italian striker could add depth to their front line and provide new manager Arne Slot with another option in the Reds’ attack.
