Liverpool make contact with long-term Man Utd and Chelsea target

Liverpool have made contact with Juventus over a deal to sign Federico Chiesa who has been linked to Manchester United and Chelsea in the past.

Despite bringing in a new manager, Liverpool are one of the only clubs in Europe who are yet to make any summer signings and, with the transfer window shutting at the end of the week, time is running out for Arne Slot to strengthen his new squad.

Liverpool’s lack of business shows Slot is content with the current strength of his squad and the team’s class was on display in their opening two games of the new season. The Reds defeated Brentford and Ipswich Town in an outstanding display

However, Liverpool are exploring a couple of deals in the final week of the summer window and this include bringing Chiesa to Anfield.

According to Fabrizio Romano, The Reds have made an approach to sign Italy international Chiesa. Liverpool are also set to bring Giorgi Mamardashvili to Anfield in a £30m deal from Valencia.

It is claimed Liverpool made contact with Juventus on Monday and could well secure a deal as the Serie A club are open to selling, while Chiesa is said to be keen on a move to the Premier League.

Chiesa will be a valuable addition to a Liverpool attack that already boasts the likes of Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.
