Federico Chiesa’s prolonged transfer saga at Juventus appears to be nearing its conclusion, with Liverpool emerging as the frontrunner for his signature. The player’s agent, Fali Ramadani, is working tirelessly to secure a last-minute solution for his client, who has been training separately from the main squad under Thiago Motta’s management in Turin.
Calciomercato report how recent developments have seen a shift in Chiesa’s potential destination. While Barcelona was initially the player’s preferred choice, this option has gradually faded due to the Catalan club’s financial constraints. The Spanish side’s struggles to register even long-time target Dani Olmo have highlighted their limited capacity to make significant moves in the transfer market.
In contrast, Liverpool has made significant strides in their pursuit of Chiesa. Fabrizio Romano reports that this morning, Liverpool and Chiesa’s representatives engaged in direct talks, resulting in the player expressing strong interest in a move to the Premier League. While details are still being finalized, there is growing optimism about the transfer’s completion.
The focus now shifts to negotiations between the two clubs. Juventus is standing firm on their valuation, demanding no less than €15 million for Chiesa’s immediate transfer. It’s worth noting that Chiesa’s current contract with Juventus is set to expire on June 30, 2025, adding urgency to the Italian club’s desire to secure a fee for the player.
