Liverpool are reportedly setting their sights on Juventus forward Federico Chiesa as a potential replacement for the injured Diogo Jota. The Portuguese star is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, leaving Jurgen Klopp scrambling for reinforcements.
Chiesa, who has been a standout performer for Juventus since his arrival in 2020, could provide the pace and creativity Liverpool need to maintain their Premier League title challenge. The 26-year-old Italian international has previously been linked with a move to England, and Anfield could be his next destination.
Why Chiesa Makes Sense for Liverpool
With Jota ruled out for months, Liverpool's attacking depth is being tested. Chiesa's versatility – he can play on either wing or through the middle – makes him an ideal candidate to slot into Klopp's high-intensity system.
The Juventus star has struggled with injuries himself in recent seasons, but when fit, he has proven to be one of Serie A's most dangerous attackers. His direct running, eye for goal, and work rate could see him thrive in the Premier League.
Juventus' Stance on a Potential Deal
While Juventus would be reluctant to lose one of their key players, their financial situation might force them to consider offers. Liverpool could test their resolve with a substantial bid in the January transfer window.
Chiesa's current contract runs until 2025, meaning the Italian giants are under no immediate pressure to sell. However, with Liverpool's need for reinforcements growing by the week, this could be one to watch as the winter window approaches.
