Liverpool Signs Federico Chiesa from Juventus

Liverpool has confirmed the signing of Italian winger Federico Chiesa from Juventus for a fee of £10 million, with potential add-ons bringing the total to £12.5 million. Chiesa, who has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, is seen as a valuable addition to manager Arne Slot's squad, who praised his work ethic and versatility. Despite being registered in time for the upcoming match against Manchester United, Slot has indicated that they will not rush Chiesa's integration into the team, prioritizing his fitness after limited playing time at Juventus. Chiesa expressed his excitement to join Liverpool, emphasizing the club's history and his desire to contribute to their success. This transfer marks Chiesa as Slot's first major signing as Liverpool's head coach, following the acquisition of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. The move comes after a relatively quiet transfer window for Liverpool, who had initially focused on retaining their existing squad.
