“Liverpool” is considering the transfer of the Italian winger of “Juventus” Federico Chiesa, journalist Fabrizio Romano wrote on social networks.
The 26-year-old forward has been deemed redundant, as have many of his team-mates, given the strict demands of new Juventus manager Thiago Motta, who took over earlier this summer.
Chiesa, who was part of Italy’s Euro 2024 squad, reportedly has one year left on his contract.
He was not included in the squad for Motta’s first league game against Como and was also absent when Juventus played Verona on Monday.
Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes said earlier this summer that the club would be “opportunistic if they can” when it comes to transfers.
Chiesa joined Juventus from Fiorentina in 2020 for £54m.
He has made 131 appearances for the club and was part of the Italy squad that won Euro 2020, but form and injuries have limited his appearances in recent seasons.
Liverpool are close to another transfer – a deal for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili – but are yet to sign this summer under new manager Arne Slott.
