According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has initiated negotiations with Juventus to inquire about the potential acquisition of Federico Chiesa.
Romano’s exclusive sources reveal that Liverpool has reached out to Juventus regarding the Italian winger. The Reds are reviewing the terms as Juventus is open to selling Chiesa if a substantial offer is made.
Chiesa no longer fits into Juventus’ plans under coach Thiago Motta. Therefore, the Italian international needs to find a new destination before the summer transfer window closes.
Federico Chiesa’s contract with Juventus has one year remaining. The Old Lady hopes to secure a significant fee from his sale to avoid losing him for free next year.
In addition to Liverpool, Barcelona is also interested in Chiesa. However, Romano notes that the Catalan club has yet to make an official offer to Juventus.
Regarding Chiesa’s personal preference, the Italian star is inclined to join Liverpool following preliminary discussions. Juventus has valued the 26-year-old at around €15 million.
Chiesa first caught attention with his impressive performances during Italy’s EURO 2020 victory. Unfortunately, his development at Juventus has been hampered by recurring injuries.
