Liverpool are keen on the Juventus winger Federico Chiesa and the player is open to a move to the Premier League.
A report from Tuttosport claims that 26-year-old Juventus winger Federico Chiesa is keen on moving to England. But Liverpool will have to pay €50-60 million to secure the services of the Italian international.
The 26-year-old was regarded as one of the finest attacking talents in Europe a few years ago, and he helped Italy win the UEFA Euro 2020. However, his development has not progressed as expected because of persistent injury problems.
Chiesa seems to have recovered from his injury nightmare and is slowly getting back to his best once again. The Italian could prove to be a quality acquisition for Liverpool, and it remains to be seen whether the Reds are prepared to pay the asking price.
Federico Chiesa to replace Salah at Liverpool next season?
Liverpool need to bring in attacking reinforcements at the end of the season. Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz are the only natural wingers at the club, and Liverpool need more options at their disposal.
In addition, the Egyptian international has been linked with a move away from the club. He will enter the final year of his contract in the summer, and Liverpool could look to cash in on him if he does not sign an extension. Chiesa has thus emerged as a viable target for the Merseyside club.
The 26-year-old is entering the peak years of his career, and he will want to compete at a high level. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down. The reported €50-60 million asking price could prove to be a premium for the Reds. But the Italian certainly has the ability to justify the investment in the long run.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool follow up on their interest with a concrete proposal to sign the player at the end of the season. Juventus are open to sanctioning his departure for the right price, and the 26-year-old winger will hope that the 2 clubs can finalise an agreement soon.
