Federico Chiesa was spotted at an airport preparing to fly to the UK to complete a medical, as Liverpool finalizes a £10.9 million deal with Juventus for the Italian winger.
Despite a quiet transfer window, Liverpool has accelerated efforts to strengthen their squad in the final days, having already signed goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia.
Reports have confirmed that Liverpool will pay an initial £10.9 million (€13 million) for Chiesa, with additional unspecified add-ons.
Chiesa is expected to sign a four-year contract at Anfield.
Speaking to reporters, the 26-year-old expressed his happiness about joining Liverpool and thanked Juventus fans for their support.
Chiesa was not in Thiago Motta’s plans at Juventus and therefore became available for transfer, and Liverpool capitalized on the opportunity by securing him in a cut-price deal.
He will join a formidable Liverpool attack that includes Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah.
Chiesa is versatile across the frontline, known for his speed, technical ability, and hard work both on and off the ball. His acquisition is expected to enhance Liverpool’s offensive options.
