Liverpool have been linked with a move for 26-year-old Italian international winger Federico Chiesa, with the Reds reaching an agreement to sign him.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are have reached an agreement to sign Federico Chiesa. The Merseyside outfit will cough up €13 million to sign the Italian international from Juventus, with the 26-year-old taking no time to give his seal of approval to the move.
Chiesa has been linked with a move away from the Serie A club, and he will be available for a knockdown price this summer. The Italian international winger is in the final year of his contract with Juventus, and they have been under pressure to sell him. They would not have wanted to lose him as a free agent.
Liverpool can use a versatile attacker like him, who will help them create goalscoring opportunities in the final third, and he is also versatile enough to operate on both flanks. The player has reportedly been open to joining the club as well.
Liverpool have a quality squad, but they will need to bring in more depth in the side if they want to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City. Both clubs have been exceptional in recent seasons, and Liverpool must match up to them by bringing in quality additions.
Federico Chiesa would improve Liverpool
The 26-year-old Italian international has proven himself for club and country in recent years, and there is no doubt that he is good enough for the Premier League. He has the physical and technical attributes to thrive in English football, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for Liverpool.
Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah have been linked with moves away from the club in recent months. While Diaz has been linked with a move to La Liga, Salah is in the final year of his contract with the club. Liverpool are clearly planning ahead, and they have identified Chiesa as a quality option.
The Italian international was regarded as a world-class talent a few years ago. But injuries have halted his development. It seems that the player has now gotten over his injury nightmare, and it remains to be seen whether he can get back to his best as well.
