Liverpool have been linked with Juventus winger Federico Chiesa all summer.
The winger has developed into one of the most exciting forwards in European football but missed the opening chunk of last season after recovering from a knee ligament injury. Chiesa, 25, finished the campaign with 10 goal involvements across all competitions, but was often forced to play either as a wingback or second striker to fit into Massimiliano Allegri’s preferred 3-5-2 system.
Liverpool have already added to their midfield ranks this summer and have a range of attacking options, but may be looking to fill the void left by Roberto Firmino’s exit. Reports in Italy have claimed that Liverpool are “leading the race” to sign Chiesa, with Gazzetta dello Sport claiming that Juventus have put a €60m (£51m) price tag on the Italy international.
