Massimiliano Allegri’s successor on the Juventus bench, Thiago Motta has started a huge revolution in Turin. The Turin management wanted to do things in a big way for its return to the Champions League this season. Among the eight players already in the squad of the former Bologna coach, we can count two new wingers: Nico Gonzalez and Francisco Conceição. Two recruitments that also indicate a trend for Federico Chiesa. That of a departure.
At the beginning of the summer, the Italian press indicated that the Italian international (51 caps) was not in Motta’s plans. Chiesa was informed that he had to find a new club this summer. If FC Barcelona showed an interest in the European champion in 2021 with the Italian, the Catalan club does not have the financial windfall necessary to complete his arrival. A problem that Liverpool did not encounter.

The Mersey club quickly made contact with the player’s entourage to find out his intentions. After quickly agreeing with the 26-year-old on a long-term contract, Liverpool had no trouble paying the 13 million euros demanded by Juventus. This Thursday, the current 4th in the Premier League made official the arrival of the Italian international (51 caps, 7 goals).We are delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Federico Chiesa, subject to international clearance.“, we can read in the official press release from the English club.
After having suffered several rejections, Liverpool thus records its first arrival in this summer transfer window. Arne Slot strengthens his offensive armada, which already has Mohamed Salah, Luis DĂaz, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Núñez, with a new element of great talent. Federico Chiesa, meanwhile, will begin his first adventure outside Italy, after Fiorentina and Juventus, and will wear the number 14 with the Reds.
