Liverpool plot surprise move for Federico Chiesa - source before Friday's transfer deadline

Liverpool are working to seal a deal for Federico Chiesa ahead of Friday's transfer deadline - 12 months after Jurgen Klopp's initial transfer interest in the Juventus winger.

Liverpool are considering a move for Juventus and Italy attacker Federico Chiesa, according to reports in Italy.

Jurgen Klopp has been a long-term admirer of Chiesa, and Liverpool first considered a move for him 12 months ago.

Chiesa left Fiorentina for Juventus in 2020, but he has struggled to make a consistent impact in Turin.

The 25-year-old scored 10 goals and provided three assists in 37 games for Juventus last season.

However, he has started just one game for the Bianconeri this season, and he is said to be keen on a move away from the club.

Liverpool are in need of attacking reinforcements, and Chiesa would be a welcome addition to Klopp's squad.

The Reds have been linked with a number of other attacking players in recent weeks, including Timo Werner and Christopher Nkunku.

However, Chiesa is seen as a more realistic target, and Liverpool are confident they can sign him before Friday's transfer deadline.

If Liverpool do sign Chiesa, it would be a major coup for the club.

The Italian is one of the most exciting young players in Europe, and he would add some much-needed creativity to Liverpool's attack.
