Liverpool have been linked with a move for 26-year-old Italian international winger Federico Chiesa, valued at around €40-45 million.
Federico Chiesa is reportedly a target for Liverpool, and they have already submitted an offer for him. Chiesa has seven goals and two assists in Serie A this season, and he should prove to be a quality acquisition for Liverpool if they can secure his signature.
Journalist Fabio Santini has confirmed to TV Play that several Premier League clubs are keen on the Italian international, and there are offers for him. The report does not mention any other club from the Premier League apart from Liverpool that has come forward to submit an offer for the player.
However, Chiesa has been linked with Newcastle as well. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can secure an agreement with Juventus. The Italian giants are open to selling the player if the asking price is met. Chiesa is valued between €40-45 million. Liverpool certainly have the financial resources to pay that kind of money for the talented winger.
Chiesa is slowly getting back to his best
The 26-year-old was outstanding for his country when they won the European Championships a few years ago. However, his development has been affected because of injury problems. Chiesa seems to have gotten over his injury nightmare now and is slowly getting back to his best. He could prove to be a key player for Liverpool if he manages to regain his sharpness.
The Italian has the ability to hit the ground running in the Premier League, and he will add pace, flair and goals to the Liverpool front three. Mohamed Salah has been linked with a summer move away from the club. Liverpool could look to sell him in the summer if he does not renew his contract, although Salah is admittedly committed to the Reds.
He will be a free agent in the summer of 2025, and Liverpool cannot afford to lose a player of his quality for free. Chiesa could be a replacement for the Egyptian international if he decides to move on at the end of the season.
Replacing Salah will be a major challenge for any player in the world but Chiesa has the physical and technical attributes to do well in England. The report does not mention how much Liverpool have offered for the Italian international, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
