Liverpool are keeping tabs on Juventus winger Federico Chiesa, who they believe could be a long-term replacement for star striker Mohamed Salah. The 26-year-old, who has been a key figure for Max Allegri, is currently in the spotlight as talks over a contract extension, according to a recent report from HITC.With his current contract expiring in 18 months, there are fears the Italian will be looking for a new challenge.
wide range of entertainmentLiverpool, along with several other clubs including Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain and Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich, are ready for Chiesa to leave Turin if he chooses a new challenge.The winger, who can play anywhere in the front line, distinguished himself on the international stage as a key player in Roberto Mancini’s Italy side that won Euro 2020 by beating England in the final. Since his move from Fiorentina to Juventus in 2020, before making the move permanent, Chiesa has established himself as a key asset for the Italian giants.
With Juventus, he scored 28 goals and provided 22 assists in 113 games in all competitions.

According to the report, that opportunity remains in the next summer transfer window.
Such a large sum would certainly attract the attention of Liverpool. This will not only increase the transfer budget significantly, but also make it easier to rebuild other parts of the squad, allowing the new manager to shape the squad in his own image.As Liverpool strategize for the future, the prospect of securing Chiesa’s services could ensure a smooth transition should Salah depart.
