Report: A bid of €40–45M has been made by Liverpool for a top attacker
At the completion of the current campaign, Liverpool is eager to sign Federico Chiesa, an attacker for Juventus.
The 26-year-old Italian international has performed admirably for Juventus this season, and the Premier League team has taken notice of him.
In an interview with TV Play, Fabio Santini stated that Juventus values the Italian international at between €40 and €45 million, and Liverpool has already made a bid for him. The amount of money Liverpool has given for the player is not included in the report, and it is unclear how things will turn out.
“Chiesa is the subject of offers from major Premier League players, especially Liverpool,” Santini stated.
Liverpool could certainly use a quality winger next season and Chiesa would be a superb addition if he can get back to his best. When he helped Italy win the Euro 2020, he was regarded as one of the finest wingers in European football.
However, he suffered a serious injury after that and his development has stalled. The Italian is slowly getting back to his best once again and he has scored seven goals across all competitions this season.
If he manages to regain his form and confidence, he should prove to be a superb addition for most Premier League clubs.
Liverpool are lacking in depth when it comes to the wide areas. Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz are the only reliable wingers at the club right now. Signing the Italian international could prove to be a wise investment.
The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his potential and could easily justify the investment in the coming seasons. The opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in England will be an attractive proposition for the 26-year-old winger as well.
Chiesa will look to showcase his qualities in the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether the Reds can get a deal done in the summer now.
