Juventus attacker Federico Chiesa has remained coy on his future amid reports linking him with a move to Liverpool.
There are suggestions in Italy that the former Fiorentina forward is a target of the Reds with Jurgen Klopp setting his sights on the Italian national team star. Further reports have accelerated the speculation with murmurs that Massimiliano Allegri's side are looking to sell the 25-year-old.
Juventus were deducted points in Serie A last season following a probe into the club's past transfer dealings. The 15-point deduction saw them slump to midtable during a chaotic campaign in the Italian top-flight, that saw the initial docked points suspended before they were reinstated seeing them finish in the UEFA Conference League places.
Reports suggested that the Genoa-born forward would accept a move to the Premier League but following his role in securing a third-place finish in the UEFA Nations League, Chiesa wasn't giving much away.

"I'm happy with how I finished, it was a really difficult year for me," he said, as quoted by Calciomercato.
"Now I'm only thinking about the holidays, then from next season I'll start preparing already from the summer training camp. Reopening with me?
"We'll see, I'm at Juventus and I'm thinking about Juventus."
According to reports, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs said to looking to sign the attacker. But a move could be on the cards after suggestions that he fell out with Allegri towards the end of the season.
It has been claimed that he grew frustrated with his playing time in Turin after returning from anterior cruciate ligament surgery in November 2022.
The ECHO reported this month that other areas of the squad appear to be locked down, with no desire to further strengthen the forward line as midfield and defence the key focus.
January arrival Cody Gakpo has already ostensibly replaced the outgoing Roberto Firmino. The Reds are also keen to not block the progress of highly-rated teenage right-winger Ben Doak, who could be earmarked for minutes in the domestic cups and Europa League group stage next season.
