Journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that Liverpool entered into negotiations with Juventus player Federico Chiesa in the past hours in preparation for signing him in the remaining days of the summer Mercato.
The Italian international was clearly informed by his coach Thiago Motta that he is out of the calculations and must find a new club for him before the end of the Mercato, and indeed he did not participate in the first two matches for Juve this season.
Barcelona was the club closest to signing Chiesa after the failure to sign Nico Williams, and it was said that the player welcomes the move to Camp Nou very much.
But the new thing, according to Romano, is that Liverpool has opened a line of communication with Chiesa to explore the possibility of signing him and supporting coach Arne Slot with the first summer deal.
As for the player, he expressed his absolute approval to join the Reds, especially since he has a clear desire to experience playing in the English Premier League.
Barcelona’s position on Chiesa is still unknown, despite the Catalans’ desire to sign him, the difficulty of registering him prevents them from moving to sign him unless there is something new in the economic situation of Joan Laporta’s administration.
It remains to be noted that Juventus is willing to sell Chiesa only for 15 million euros.
