A one-time Liverpool transfer target, who the Reds reportedly had a £86million bid rejected for, has had his asking price slashed by over £70m.
Jurgen Klopp was said to have been a big fan of Juventus forward Federico Chiesa when the German coach was looking to bolster his attacking options in the summer of 2022.
Cody Gakpo (£35m) soon followed in January of the same season, with Klopp and co. left to wonder what might’ve been had Juventus accepted their bid for Chiesa.
However, Klopp’s successor, Arne Slot could have the chance to find out, with Chiesa reportedly up for sale.

As such, this summer could represent the final time for Juventus to cash in on the 26-year-old, given he’d be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with a club outside of Italy from January onwards.
Premier League clubs’ interest has been piqued by Chiesa’s new-found transfer status, with Liverpool among those believed to be on red alert about the prospect of a bargain.
Chiesa isn’t the only Juventus star who could be departing the Allianz Stadium this summer, with up to eight first-team players said to have been told to find new clubs by new boss Thiago Motta.
