The 26-Year-Old Winger Will Start a New Chapter in the Premier League With Liverpool

According to soccer news Liverpool’s transfer strategy has taken an unexpected turn with the acquisition of Federico Chiesa from Juventus. While the Reds initially had their sights set on Martin Zubimendi, they ultimately shifted gears and secured Chiesa in what many consider a bargain deal.

The Bargain Buy: How Liverpool Snagged Chiesa
Federico Chiesa’s move to Liverpool has raised eyebrows, especially given the modest transfer fee of around $16 million. Just a couple of years ago, soccer rumors reported that Juventus shelled out $55 million to make Chiesa’s move from Fiorentina permanent. So, why the dramatic price drop?
The main reason behind this bargain buy is Chiesa’s contract situation. With only one year left on his contract at Juventus and no intention of renewing, the Italian winger found himself on the fringes of Thiago Motta’s plans. Motta, the new Juventus manager, is focusing on younger players who align better with his tactical vision, leaving Chiesa out in the cold.
Adding to the discount is Chiesa’s injury history. Although he returned to action, he struggled to find his previous form, with various minor injuries hampering his comeback. Despite these challenges, Federico Chiesa’s stats last season showed signs of regaining his stride, as he contributed significantly to Juventus’ attack.

Why are Liverpool Signing Chiesa?
One of the most exciting prospects of Chiesa’s arrival at Liverpool is the potential partnership he could form with Mohamed Salah. With Salah’s blistering start to the season—two goals in two games of the Liverpool fixtures—adding another dynamic winger like Chiesa to the mix could be a masterstroke.
Chiesa’s style of play, characterized by his pace, dribbling, and ability to take on defenders in one-on-one situations, complements Salah’s own strengths. Slot’s tactical system demands pacy wide players, and Chiesa fits the bill perfectly.
