For a low fee - just £10m up front plus £2.5m in add-ons - Chiesa ticks many of Liverpool's boxes.
The signing of Chiesa could come from the data-driven approach of Michael Edwards - former Liverpool sporting director, now FSG's director of football operations.
Those familiar with Liverpool's transfer policy will recognise the familiar principles. They tend to favour low-risk deals with high potential for success.
It could be a potential player who has been overlooked due to circumstances rather than an established star. It could also be a player who has not yet reached his peak but possesses a wealth of experience at the highest level and is versatile in many positions.
At a bargain price (as Chiesa's contract at Juventus expires next summer), this is a no-brainer deal for a player of the Italian striker's calibre.
Chiesa was once a top European prospect but suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury in January 2022. Therefore, after an explosive EURO 2020, a series of injury problems interrupted Chiesa's progress.
In fact, when Chiesa was still playing for Fiorentina and throughout 2021, the "Red Brigade" kept an eye on this striker. However, injury concerns caused Liverpool to temporarily put their interest aside.
Chiesa's strengths are that he is two-footed and can play in a number of attacking positions. He can even play as a centre-forward, as former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri once stated.
The 26-year-old's quick acceleration, dribbling power and desire to fight fit the Liverpool identity. Even at his peak, the Reds felt he was not being properly exploited. Now, after injury problems, Chiesa needs the right conditions to thrive.
Liverpool are more suited to Chiesa's strengths than Juventus. While his lack of goalscoring is seen as a problem, the Reds will focus more on other aspects. These could be his shot volume, chance creation and dribbling efficiency.
"First of all, I have to say that Liverpool players work very hard to achieve their goals and ambitions. Therefore, you need to bring in players who have the same views, vision and culture as the team.
Chiesa works very hard in games and training to try to reach his full potential. He has the ability to score goals. Chiesa is a really interesting signing.
Liverpool have a very good coaching team. We will help Chiesa to follow the right trajectory. Hopefully we will see the quality of his football in the future" - said Arne Slot.
