Liverpool Weighs Bid for Juventus' Federico Chiesa

Liverpool is evaluating a surprise late transfer for Juventus winger Federico Chiesa as the transfer deadline approaches. The club's sporting director, Richard Hughes, indicated a willingness to pursue 'opportunistic' signings, and Chiesa, who has a history of injuries but is available for a fee around £12-13 million, fits this strategy. Despite a strong attacking lineup, Liverpool is reportedly interested due to Chiesa's pedigree and versatility, particularly as other clubs like Barcelona have struggled to finalize a deal for him. Meanwhile, Chelsea's Victor Osimhen is awaiting clarity on a potential move, with the club needing to offload players to balance their finances. Additionally, Arsenal's Eddie Nketiah is set to join Crystal Palace for around £25 million, indicating ongoing activity in the transfer market. As Liverpool explores options, they are also finalizing a deal for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, marking their first signing under new coach Arne Slot.
