Liverpool are setting their sights on Juventus forward Federico Chiesa as part of a major summer rebuild under incoming manager Arne Slot, according to reports.
The Italian international, known for his pace and versatility, has emerged as a top target for the Reds as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Chiesa's Potential Impact at Anfield
With 26-year-old Chiesa capable of playing on either wing or through the middle, his potential arrival could provide Liverpool with the creative spark they've been missing. The former Fiorentina star has impressed in Serie A despite Juventus' recent struggles.
Slot's Transfer Strategy Takes Shape
New head coach Arne Slot is reportedly working closely with Liverpool's recruitment team to identify targets that fit his high-intensity playing style. Chiesa's work rate and technical ability make him an ideal candidate for Slot's system.
The potential move comes as Liverpool face competition from several top European clubs for Chiesa's signature, with the player's contract situation at Juventus making a transfer increasingly likely this summer.
Financial Considerations
While Juventus value Chiesa at around £50 million, Liverpool may attempt to negotiate a lower fee given the player's contract expires in 2025. The Reds' hierarchy are believed to be willing to back Slot with significant funds as they prepare for life after Jurgen Klopp.
Should the deal materialise, Chiesa would join a Liverpool attack already featuring Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, potentially forming one of the most formidable forward lines in the Premier League.
