Liverpool 'interested' in signing Juventus star Chiesa

Liverpool They are reportedly “interested” in signing Juventus star Federico Chiesa this summer, according to the Italian outlet. TuttoSport.

It has been suggested that the Merseyside club could look to sign a new winger ahead of next season as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah – who has been linked with a move away from Anfield in recent months.

Saudi team Al-Ittihad were interested in signing him and even submitted a formal proposal worth around £150m last summer. However, the Merseyside club were unwilling to let their star leave the club, so they rejected the offer.

However, it has been reported that although Al-Ittihad were unable to acquire Salah last time, they have not given up hope of signing him and could revive their interest this summer.

A few wingers have been linked with a move to Anfield in recent times, including Pedro Neto and Michael Olise. However, Chiesa is also said to be on his radar.

Chiesa to Liverpool

According to the report of TuttoSportLiverpool expressed interest in signing Chiesa last summer but did not choose to formalize their interest. But the report claims that although they did not make a concrete approach last year, they remain interested in signing him and could try to acquire his service before the next campaign.

TuttoSport claims Juventus might be willing to cash in on Chiesa, but they won't accept anything less than £43m. Therefore, the Merseyside club will have to spend a considerable amount of money to sign the Italian.

Chiesa can play anywhere on the front line, so he would be a great asset to any team in Europe. He has already demonstrated his qualities at the highest level, helping Juventus win some domestic cups in recent years. Additionally, he played a key role in leading Italy to win the Euro in 2021.
