Liverpool reportedly have an agreement in place to sign Juventus winger Federico Chiesa as the Italy international closes in on a move to Anfield.
The Reds are yet to make a move in the transfer market that will benefit them this season after Giorgi Mamardashvili signed in a deal worth €35m but has returned to Valencia in a season-long loan deal.
are rumoured to be interested in three new signings this summer with the Reds wanting a centre-back, central midfielder and a wide forward.
However, Liverpool fans could have to settle for just one new face with Chiesa where their main interest lies ahead of transfer deadline day on Friday.
Earlier on Wednesday, Romano revealed that Liverpool are locked in talks over a potential deal for the Juventus winger with nothing agreed just yet.
: Liverpool are working on the Federico Chiesa deal they are talking to Juventus and also to the agent of the player. Liverpool are understanding the conditions of the deal, with Juve asking for around €15m for the player, who can leave as a free agent next summer.
The salary will also be a crucial point, and this is one of the things Liverpool are discussing. Talks are ongoing, let’s see what happens, but of course if Chiesa ends up leaving Juventus, this could help them improve their proposal for a replacement like Jadon Sancho.
For me, Chiesa would be a fantastic signing – he is the perfect fit for Liverpool, he’s fast, and he deserves to play in a team with offensive football like Liverpool as Juventus under Allegri were too defensive.
In terms of other similar targets for Liverpool, I’m not aware of other players being considered at the moment, my name for Liverpool is Federico Chiesa.
