Federico Chiesa, a winger for Juventus, is apparently someone Liverpool want to pursue more actively before the summer transfer window opens.
The Reds are anticipated to be busy in the upcoming transfer window with the hiring of Arne Slot as Jurgen Klopp’s successor and the return of players like Michael Edwards and Julian Ward to the background.
Liverpool’s top priority in the middle of these changes is still to increase their attacking options, with a focus on acquiring a wide forward or winger in particular.
After making a splash for the Reds, Luis Diaz has failed to live up to the hype, while teams from the Middle East are circling Mohamed Salah, making his future at the squad questionable.
Scouts from Liverpool were present for the Coppa Italia final.
According to a Tutto Juve rumor, Liverpool will step up their attempts this summer to capture the adaptable attacker from Juventus despite the uncertainties surrounding his contract position in Turin.
The 26-year-old Chiesa played 69 minutes before being replaced in Juventus’ recent 1-0 Coppa Italia final triumph against Atalanta, and Anfield scouts were present to watch him.
Although it is known that Chiesa’s current contract with Juventus expires in 2025, negotiations over a possible extension have stalled because of the player’s wage demands.
Consequently, if the 26-year-old rejects the club’s new conditions, I Bianconeri are rumored to be prepared to let him go this summer for the proper price.
Juventus is prepared to let go of Chiesa for the appropriate sum.
According to the source, a price of approximately £51 million might be sufficient to get the dynamic winger.
After a spectacular Euro 2020 campaign, the Italian international became one of the most sought-after wingers, but during the past few seasons, he has had many physical setbacks.
After missing most of 2022 due to an ACL tear, he has experienced ten distinct physical issues in the eighteen months since his return.
In 32 Serie A games this season, Chiesa has eight goals and two assists.
