Liverpool’s interest in finding a replacement for Mo Salah continues to grow and one of the names on their list is Juventus winger Federico Chiesa. With Salah’s impending departure to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, Liverpool are exploring options to strengthen their squad and ensure adequate compensation for the departure of their star.
Chiesa, who has been linked with a possible move to Anfield, could represent an attractive alternative for Liverpool. Juventus are aware of the financial constraints that require him and would be willing to negotiate a transfer this summer. Although the Bianconeri would like to extend his contract, they recognize the possibility of a sale due to their financial constraints.
Newcastle is also following in his footsteps
Newcastle have also shown interest in Chiesa, which could intensify competition among Premier League clubs to sign him. Despite recent injuries affecting his performance, Chiesa remains a player with great potential and could contribute a lot to any team that signs him.
With six goals and two assists in 21 Serie A games this season, Chiesa has proven his worth on the field despite physical setbacks. However, his injury history is a concern for Liverpool, who will need to carefully consider the risk before proceeding with negotiations.
Despite the challenges he would face in adapting to the team and filling the void left by Salah, Chiesa could be invaluable to Liverpool if he can return to his best level. The Merseyside club wants to ensure its competitiveness among the elite of English and European football and the potential inclusion of Chiesa could be a step in that direction.
