Liverpool have made a bold approach to sign Juventus winger Federico Chiesa as the transfer window nears its end. The Reds are exploring the possibility of bringing the Italian star to Anfield, with the player himself showing keen interest in the move.
Chiesa, a 26-year-old talent, has been placed on the transfer market by Juventus, who are eager to find a resolution before the window closes.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Liverpool initiated contact with Juventus and Chiesa’s camp earlier today to assess the conditions of a potential deal.
The player’s agent, Fali Ramadani, is now waiting for a final decision from Barcelona, who have also shown interest, though they have yet to make a formal offer.
Federico Chiesa injury woes raise questions
However, Liverpool’s interest in Chiesa is not without its risks. The winger has struggled with injuries over the past few seasons, raising concerns about his fitness and ability to perform consistently in the Premier League.
In the 23/24 season alone, Chiesa missed 11 games due to five separate injuries. The previous season was even worse, with 16 matches missed due to seven injuries, and in 21/22, Chiesa endured a devastating 314-day absence, sidelining him for 57 games.
Despite these setbacks, Chiesa remains a highly regarded player, and Liverpool seem prepared to take a chance on him if the conditions are right. Juventus are reportedly asking for a fee in the region of €15 million, which could be considered a bargain for a player of Chiesa’s quality, provided he can stay fit.
As the clock ticks down, the next 24 hours will be crucial. If Barcelona fails to act swiftly, Chiesa could very well be on his way to Liverpool, where he hopes to reignite his career under Arne Slot’s guidance. The Reds are known for their thorough medical evaluations, and should they proceed, it’s likely they believe Chiesa can overcome his injury issues and make a significant impact at Anfield.
The situation remains fluid, but one thing is clear: Liverpool’s interest in Federico Chiesa is real, and this potential deal could be one of the most intriguing storylines of the final days of the transfer window.
