Liverpool will eventually need to address the prospect of finding a replacement for their superstar winger, Mo Salah.
In recent transfer windows, Liverpool has been linked with numerous players amid ongoing speculation regarding Salah’s future.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will once again turn to Salah. The Saudi Pro League is anticipated to make another attempt to lure the Reds’ star to the Middle East.
Liverpool will undergo a managerial change, which will likely result in new player acquisitions being on the agenda.
The necessity of replacing Salah this summer remains uncertain.
However, according to Italian journalist Fabio Santini, Liverpool has already made an offer for one of Italy’s top attacking players.
Santini, speaking to TV Play, disclosed that Liverpool has submitted an offer for long-time target Federico Chiesa, and Juventus might be enticed to consider a sale.
“What does Juventus do? Chiesa could sell and not Vlahovic as is being said. There are offers on Chiesa from the big names in the Premier League, especially Liverpool. By selling Chiesa they take home about 40-45 million, with that figure Juventus can go knocking on Retegui’s door who should not be seen here as a duplicate of Vlahovic, but if anything as his shoulder. Here too, Juventus will have to do the math of the servant, as they say in Milan,” Santini explained.
Liverpool’s interest in Chiesa is not unprecedented, as they were reportedly pursuing his signature last summer. Tottenham is also believed to be interested in the Italian star.
While Santini mentions a fee of approximately £40m, previous reports have suggested a figure closer to £52m.
Chiesa’s high-energy style of play would resonate with Liverpool fans, reminiscent of his performances in the 2021 Euros.
Lauded as a ‘superstar’ by some in the Italian media, Chiesa, at just 26, is nearing the 50-cap mark for Italy. He has also drawn comparisons to Luis Suarez, a flattering assessment in the eyes of Liverpool supporters.
Although Chiesa has scored only seven goals this season, a change of scenery could yield positive results, and under Liverpool’s new setup, the Italian could thrive.
