Federico Chiesa set for Liverpool medical after €12m deal agreed with Juventus

The 26-year-old is surplus to requirements in Turin.

FEDERICO CHIESA IS due to undergo a medical on Merseyside after Liverpool and Juventus agreed a deal which could eventually be worth €14.8million.

The PA news agency understands the Reds have agreed to pay the Serie A outfit an initial €11.8m for the 26-year-old Italy forward, with a further €3m largely dependent upon the team’s performance during his time at Anfield.

Chiesa, who had been linked with Spanish giants Barcelona and a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, will now undergo medical tests with a view to completing a switch.

Liverpool registered their interest in the player after it emerged that he was not part of Juve boss Thiago Motta’s long-term plans.

He joined the Bianconeri permanently in July 2022, completing a €50m move from Fiorentina following a successful loan spell during the previous two seasons.

Chiesa made 37 appearances, 29 of them as a starter and scored 10 goals last season, and also found the back of the net twice in nine games for his country, both of them in a Euro 2024 qualifying win over North Macedonia in November.

Having prospered at Juve under Andrea Pirlo, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in January 2022 and struggled to rediscover his best form on his return under Massimiliano Allegri, and his days have looked numbered since Motta’s arrival earlier this summer.
