On Monday evening, a huge development occurred in Liverpool’s typically calm transfer market.
Following Arne Slot’s appointment earlier this summer, the Merseyside transfer market has been quiet.
With barely a few hours remaining in this summer’s transfer window, Liverpool remains the only Premier League club without a signing.
However, the Reds may have just sprung into action, with Liverpool making touch with Juventus about Federico Chiesa on Monday.
This comes as a significant surprise given Liverpool’s typically quiet market activity ahead of Friday’s deadline.
However, there may be a twist in the tale, with the Reds displaying interest in the Italy international.
Liverpool has previously addressed the Federico Chiesa issue.
Liverpool have also agreed to sign Giorgi Mamardashvili ahead of deadline day.
However, the Georgian goalie is a long-term prospect, since he is due to return on loan for the balance of the 2024/25 season.
However, a deal for Chiesa may come down to the wire, as the Italian winger is also attracting interest from other clubs.
According to Tuttosport, Barcelona and Juventus have already reached an agreement on Chiesa.
The report was released on Monday afternoon, around the same time as Liverpool’s interest in the Juventus winger.
Chiesa is also reported to have given the green light to join Barcelona, with his representative alerting the club of his choice.
Liverpool has an interesting few days in the market, and it appears that they will have to fight hard to land the winger.
Federico Chiesa wants to play in the Premier League.
Liverpool are not the only Premier League club interested in Chiesa, as Arsenal and Tottenham have also expressed interest in the winger.
Chiesa is reported to have previously approved a move to the Premier League, with both London clubs speaking with his agency.
So it appears that Liverpool would be able to entice this player to Anfield; however, it remains to be seen whether they can outbid Barcelona for his signature.
With just hours left in the window, Liverpool may make one of the most thrilling signings of the summer to close the market.
