According to the latest news from renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, English Premier League giants Liverpool Football Club have been in direct contact with Italian rivals Juventus to hold in-depth negotiations over the transfer of Federico Chiesa, often referred to as Junior Chiesa. The deal is currently in a positive progression stage, with both sides having initiated the formal transfer process.
According to reports, there has been some agreement between Liverpool and Juventus on a transfer fee for Chiesa Jr. amounting to around €15 million. This price is undoubtedly quite attractive for a striker who is only 26 years old and in his prime. Little Chiesa showed excellent skills and potential during his time at Juventus, and his joining will undoubtedly add new vitality to Liverpool's forward line.
In addition to negotiating with Juventus on the transfer fee, Liverpool is also actively communicating with the player himself on the salary issue. As a key part of a transfer deal, a player's salary can often have a significant impact on the success of a transfer. Liverpool need to ensure that they offer a competitive contract to Chiesa to attract him to join and help the team achieve better results in the new season.
It is worth noting that Junior Chiesa's contract with Juventus expires in the summer of 2025, but he is no longer in Juventus' plans for the new season. This news certainly provides Liverpool with the perfect opportunity to bring in the young striker. Juventus may be willing to sell Chiesa Jr. for a relatively low price for team rebuilding or financial reasons, so as to raise more transfer funds for the team.
