Liverpool have been actively pursuing a forward in the transfer market and have identified the Italian as their top target to strengthen their attack.
After making 131 appearances over four seasons with Juventus, the forward is set to conclude his time in Italy and embark on a new chapter as Liverpool’s latest signing.
At 26 years old, he is eager to put on the Liverpool jersey following the successful completion of his medical and the signing of a long-term contract.
Chiesa will wear the number 14 shirt for the current season, as confirmed by Liverpool’s official announcement of his transfer.
The Italy international joined the club for a fee of €15 million and has committed to a four-year deal with the Reds.
Upon finalizing his transfer, Chiesa expressed his excitement to Liverpoolfc.com, stating, “I’m thrilled to be a Liverpool player.
When Richard Hughes reached out to me and asked if I wanted to join Liverpool, and the coach called as well, I immediately said yes. I understand the legacy of this club and what it means to its supporters. I’m incredibly happy and can’t wait to get started.”
Following the acquisition of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia earlier this week, Chiesa marks the second signing of the Arne Slot era.
