With new manager, Arne Slot taking over, Liverpool is getting ready for a new chapter in its history and has already made big summer transfer deal plans which includes signing Federico Chiesa from Juventus.
Liverpool’s bosses aim to strengthen their team since Jurgen Klopp said he’d step down after the 2023-2024 season.
FSG’s plan led to picking Richard Hughes from Bournemouth as the new sports director and bringing back Michael Edwards as CEO of Football Operations.
Supporters anticipate that these adjustments will result in lucrative additions and maintain Liverpool’s elite level of competitiveness.
The race to sign Federico Chiesa from Juventus is supposedly being led by Liverpool. Though Antonio Conte’s Napoli will challenge them, the Reds are the front-runners according to Tuttosport via Football Italia.
Additionally interested in the adaptable forward, Newcastle United is also prepared to spend more than £50 million. Given Chiesa’s contract is about to expire and Juventus is having financial difficulties it might be best for the Italian team to sell him.
Chiesa ,who primarily plays on the left, has the versatility and ability to score goals and assist which makea him the ideal fit for Darwin Nunez and Liverpool.
Liverpool is anxious to seize this opportunity. Chiesa, 25, has injury problems lately but at the conclusion of the 2022–2023 season, he was back to his previous level.
With just four games missed in December and January he had a comparatively injury-free season. He concluded the campaign with 29 starts, a Coppa Italia trophy, ten goals and three assists.
Chiesa was praised by former Italian football player, Alessandro Pierini who described him as world-class and having all the ability and desire of a great player.
Chiesa has shown promise despite setbacks with injuries and he could have a big impact on Liverpool. Nunez, the £85 million record signing for Liverpool has displayed moments of brilliance but he needs stronger support to play to his full potential. Nunez might be better off with Chiesa as a companion.
He is one of Europe’s best forwards at creating shots making progressive passes carrying the ball and winning takeaways according to FBref.
Nunez might be able to get the assistance he needs to succeed as he might create goal scoring opportunities for him. When Chiesa was at his peak, Italian legend Giorgio Chiellini once called him unstoppable.
Despite his injury history raising concerns, Liverpool has enough depth to carefully manage his workload. As Liverpool begin a new chapter without Klopp, Chiesa’s dynamic play might be exactly what the team needs to keep up their attacking threat.
