Premier League
Federico Chiesa, the talented Italian winger, will not play for either Juventus or FC Barcelona during the 2024-2025 season. Instead, it is Liverpool, under the management of Arne Slot, who has secured the services of the 26-year-old player. This signing comes in a summer where the "reds" were the only Premier League club that had not made any signings yet.
They were the last, but it was the best offer
Chiesa, who arrives from Juventus for a fee of 12 million euros plus another three million in variables, has signed a four-season contract that ties him to Liverpool until 2028. Despite being on FC Barcelona's radar, which saw him as a solution to their economic difficulties and failures in negotiations for Nico Williams and Rafael Leão, Liverpool was quicker and managed to convince the Italian international.
We are delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Federico Chiesa, subject to international clearance. 🙌🔴 #BenvenutoFederico

The player, who arrives with a track record of 131 matches, 32 goals, and 20 assists with Juventus, will face competition from Luis Díaz on the left-hand side of the reds' attack. Chiesa, known for his power and ability to dribble, can also play more centrally, supporting the reference striker. After a period marked by a serious knee injury in 2022, Chiesa lands at Anfield with the mission of helping Liverpool regain the Premier League title and challenge Manchester City's dominance.
