The Athletic revealed that Liverpool sent a signal to Federico Chiesa from August 26 after considering and knowing that the 26-year-old striker was now redundant in the Juventus squad. After a very successful EURO 2020, Chiesa was constantly injured and was no longer as explosive as before.
Thiago Motta's view on personnel is very clear, he prioritizes choosing factors with stable dedication to calculate the long term. Chiesa may be good but is often injured. Motta does not want to bet on such a person.
It is now the summer of 2024, Chiesa's contract with the "Old Lady" only has one more year left. Therefore, this is the most appropriate time for both parties to part ways and everyone can be happy. Although Chiesa's price over the past year is no longer high, if he loses the 26-year-old star, Juve will fall into a worse situation than if the striker sat on the bench every week due to injury.
15 million Euro, not including fees, is a number that is gradually finding common ground between Juventus and Liverpool regarding Chiesa's case. In the past, The Kop wanted to bring Chiesa to Anfied many times but the price was too high. The current number has softened a lot, but it is largely due to the Azzurri striker's injury and loss of form.
If the number is finalized at 15 million Euros, Juventus is considered to have lost about 35 million Euros on the Chiesa deal. Previously, they spent up to 50 million Euros to bring Chiesa to Allianz Stadium from Fiorentina.
Last season, Chiesa played 37 matches for the "Old Lady" under Max Allegri. He scored 10 goals and had 3 assists. The 2023-2024 season is the first full campaign for the 26-year-old attacking star. Previously, in January 2022, Chiesa suffered an ACL injury and had to stay away from the field for up to 9 months.
It is expected that before coming to Old Trafford in the Super Sunday match in round 3 of the Premier League, Liverpool will announce a new contract named Federico Chiesa. If this deal is successful, The Kop will have a good player at a very low price, as long as Chiesa does not have a long-term injury.
