Merseyside outlet Paisley Gates reports that Liverpool can now sign Federico Chiesa for €40 million after Juventus slashed €20 million from their original asking price. The 25-year-old attacker was of interest to Jurgen Klopp, but the Reds manager will not prioritise a move for another attacker over a new midfielder.

Recent weeks have seen increased pressure on Liverpool to find new stars to replace those who left for the wealth of Saudi Arabia. Jordan Henderson and Fabinho left the team to join teams in the Middle East, and Jurgen Klopp is still eager to sign replacements.

They may or may not add more than one midfielder, but they unquestionably require at least one star performer. Considering that they have thus far demonstrated a refusal to pay Romeo Lavia’s asking price, it is uncertain whether that transaction would actually go place.

The 25-year-old attacker prefers a move to Liverpool and could leave Juventus if clubs pay decent money for the Italian winger. The Bianconeri are strapped for cash in this window and may have to sell some of their prized assets to balance the books.

As per the same outlet, Juventus originally wanted €50-€60 million for Chiesa, but now they are ready to make concessions. The Serie A giants are willing to slash €20 million from their asking price and make Chiesa available for €40 million.

There’s mention of Liverpool’s interest, which the outlet insists has come from the Italian media. It may seem like a ploy from agents to keep liking the 25-year-old attacker with a move to Merseyside, who have admired the winger before.

Liverpool was not willing to spend more money since they had previously valued Chiesa at €40 million. So, any move would be justified at this time, but Klopp might not make a transfer a top priority. It would seem foolish to sign the 25-year-old attacker because the Reds have adequate depth in the wide areas.

The winger’s recent injury history has also prevented him from regaining his previous pace, raising doubts about his talent. There are therefore increasing questions regarding whether Liverpool would start negotiations for this specific transfer within current window.
