Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing 25-year-old Italian international Federico Chiesa, a target for Liverpool.
According to a report by Corriere dello Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Newcastle United are hoping to sign Federico Chiesa to improve their attacking department. And they have already made their move for the 25-year-old, a target for Liverpool. Meanwhile, Juventus want €60 million to part ways with him.
Chiesa has been linked with a move to Liverpool as well. The Reds need to add more quality and depth to their attack, and the Italian international would be a superb long-term acquisition.
Despite his injury problems in the last few seasons, Chiesa remains a top-class talent with massive potential. Someone like Jurgen Klopp could help the Italian international develop into one of the best attackers in the world.
Chiesa was regarded as a world-class talent when he helped Italy win the European Championships in 2021. However, he has had persistent injury problems over the last couple of seasons, missing in excess of 60 matches.
It remains to be seen where he ends up this summer. Chiesa will need to join a club where he will get ample game time. So he needs a manager who will have faith in his abilities. Eddie Howe has done well to put together a competitive Newcastle United squad, and he could be the ideal manager to get the best out of Chiesa as well.
Newcastle have secured Champions League qualification, and they need better players to do well in Europe next season. The 25-year-old Juventus winger could be a quality acquisition for them. He would be an upgrade on Allan Saint-Maximin if he can stay fit next season.
The French winger has been quite inconsistent, and the Magpies should look to bring in an upgrade. Chiesa has thus emerged as a viable target for Newcastle United. They will be up against top-class teams on a weekly basis now and will need a better set of players at their disposal.
The Magpies are the wealthiest club in the world, and they have the finances to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement with Juventus quickly. The winger is valued at €60 million.

The Italian giants recently missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification, and they could look to offset the financial losses by selling a player this summer. Chiesa clearly needs a fresh start to get his career back on track. And moving to the Premier League could be an exciting new step in his career. But it will be interesting to see if Liverpool can beat Newcastle to his signature.
