Liverpool are actively pursuing an agreement with Juventus to secure the transfer of Federico Chiesa, with a four-year contract on the table for the winger.
The news of Liverpool’s unexpected interest broke just days before the transfer window closed, and Merseyside sources quickly reported on the club’s efforts to finalize the deal.
According to a recent update from The Athletic’s well-regarded journalist David Ornstein, Liverpool are “working to complete the signing” of the 26-year-old Chiesa and are now prepared to meet the necessary terms to bring him to Anfield. The potential transfer is seen as a strategic move, with Chiesa available for a fee in the region of €15 million (£12.7m)—a bargain for a player with his talent and experience.

Ornstein further revealed that Liverpool are in discussions over a possible four-year contract for Chiesa, following reports that personal terms may already have been agreed. While there have been concerns about his injury history, including a significant ACL injury during the 2021/22 season, Liverpool’s medical team is confident that Chiesa can overcome these issues. Last season, he made 37 appearances for Juventus, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists, while showcasing his versatility across four different attacking positions.
Chiesa’s ability to play primarily as a right-winger makes him an ideal candidate to provide depth behind Mohamed Salah, addressing a key need for the Reds ahead of a demanding season. Liverpool have until the transfer deadline on Friday to finalize the deal for Juventus’ No. 7, and all indications suggest that they are on track to do so. It promises to be an exciting week for Liverpool fans as the club works to secure this promising addition to their squad.
