Federico Chiesa reportedly makes decision over Juventus offer

Federico Chiesa The future of Federico Chiesa remains unresolved. The Liverpool winger has been a marginal figure under Arne Slot - since joining for a fee that could reach £12.5m back in September 2024. Chiesa, 28, failed to make a decisive breakthrough under Slot during the 2024/25 Premier League title-winning campaign. And even though the forward has featured more regularly during this season he still does not appear to possess Slot’s trust to start games. The Italy international has managed only ONE start in the top flight so far this season and played no minutes in the recent clash against Arsenal at the Emirates. Transfer rumours are not hotting up around Chiesa - who could well be the subject of a bid from Juventus during the January window. Juve are seeking to restock their forwa...

Federico Chiesa not in Champions league Squad for Liverpool Liverpool Federico Chiesa has been left out of Liverpool’s Champions League squad. The Italian forward has been pipped to the post by young winger Rio Ngumhoa, who was included ahead of the 27-year-old in the Reds’ roster.

Usually, Ngumhoa, who has recently turned 17, would be able to play Champions League football as part of the ‘B’ squad list, but because he only joined the club from Chelsea last year, he has to be part of the ‘A’ list.As such, he ekes out Chiesa in the Arne Slot’s 22-man squad.

Liverpool transfer news as ‘approach’ made for $106m star amid Real Madrid battle

The transfer window may be closed, but the rumors keep coming, with some claims that will no doubt raise eyebrows among Liverpool fans. Despite a quiet summer, which saw just Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa signed, the Reds have made a perfect start to the season under new head coach Arne Slot.

Juventus’ Federico Chiesa move to Barcelona will only happen in final week of transfer window

Barcelona remain set on bringing in a left winger this summer, even if it looks like being a much more low-profile choice compared to Nico Williams. They are currently in talks with Juventus for Federico Chiesa, who is out of contract next summer. Previous reports state that Barcelona have agreed personal terms with Chiesa, who would take a wage cut to sign a three-year deal with the Catalan side, and has given the green light for the move. Meanwhile talks with Bianconeri are still ongoing. Juventus are keen to raise the fee to €20m, while Barcelona seemingly will not move above €15m. However Cadena SER explain that the deal will not go through this week. Any agreement will have to be rubber-stamped in the final week of the transfer window, due to doubts about Barcelona’s ability to ...

Tottenham need help on the wing As transfer speculation mounts regarding the future of Premier League veteran Richarlison, who did enjoy a bounce-back season under Ange Postecoglou, there’s been equally rampant transfer speculation in the Italian media about the possibility of Tottenham going after Federico Chiesa. It makes sense. Tottenham have a need on the win...
