Liverpool might make a £30 million bid to sign Federico Chiesa to test the Juventus waters.
According to the Italian publication Calciomercato (via Liverpool Echo), Liverpool will make Juventus a £30 million offer to sign Italian international Federico Chiesa this summer as a test.

According to the report, the player’s future in Turin is in doubt, and Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Newcastle United are also interested in him.

Chiesa has missed a lot of Juventus games since playing a key role in Italy’s victory at the Euros 2021. Totaling 62 games, he has missed them.

for a player who was at the pinnacle of his career after success on the international stage, in the last two seasons (2021–2022 and 2022–2023), which is a lot.

The 25-year-old forward, who can also play as the number nine, is a versatile player who can play on either wing. He plays with great pace, great finishing ability, and good technical value.

In the last three transfer windows, the club heavily invested in bolstering the forward line. Now is the time to spend the majority of the budget on top midfielders, and possibly add one or two defenders as well.

Finally, even if Liverpool is set on signing Chiesa, his injury history over the previous two seasons isn’t promising (as evidenced by the numbers mentioned above). After losing Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Klopp would prefer not to have any more injury-prone players on his team.

Liverpool transfer news as $109 million ‘talks held’ and a release clause for Jürgen Klopp’s option surface

Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp’s side have reportedly been in talks with multiple clubs over a $109million duo, while the Reds could also exploit a release clause.

The ink on the paper on which Alexis Mac Allister signed his contract with Liverpool had barely dried when attention turned to who the Reds could bring to Anfield next as part of Jurgen Klopp’s rebuild.

The Argentine is a great start to the summer but it needs a lot more as Liverpool look for more midfield opportunities and maybe a position or two as well.

Klopp has already admitted that every outfield position is under scrutiny.

Many players are rated and Liverpool are looking for good values ​​in a market where some of the advertised fees are outrageous.

Mac Allister has certainly proved to be a smart buy and it wouldn’t be a surprise if factors like availability and price dictated strategy for the rest of the summer.

That said, at least one more new midfielder is more or less non-negotiable.

The ideal timing would be for more players to arrive before Liverpool resume pre-season training in less than a month, so that the new additions can be fully integrated into the squad and system before the new campaign begins.

Here’s Liverpool.com’s verdict on the market gossip that emerged around the Reds today, starting with an update on two exciting young midfielders who have been heavily linked to moves in recent days.

Manu Kone (Borussia Monchengladbach) and Khephren Thuram (Nice)

Liverpool have held talks with both Manu Kone and Khéphren Thuram, according to Football Insider, to see what taxes and wages would look like if the Reds make a more concrete move.

The foundations have presumably been laid by Liverpool for the duo, both 22, with price and availability crucial to what the Reds do next in the transfer market as more midfield options are sought after the arrival of Mac Allister.

Koné would be available for around $44m (£35m/€41m), while Thuram will, according to Le Parisien, pay each suitor $65m (£51m/€60m), while Nice is under no pressure to buy him out.

Liverpool.com says: If Jörg Schmadtke makes a move for either player it should be feasible given the clubs they play for.

Liverpool should be able to coax talent from these types of teams, but other options are being explored that could bring more value.

Gonçalo Inácio (Sporting CP)

As well as needing to sign at least one or two more midfielders this summer, Liverpool could also use another centre-back, with Sporting’s Gonçalo Inácio being one of the more popular options to consider.

But according to Portuguese outlet Record, Sporting are planning to hand Inácio a new contract to extend his release clause, thanks to interest from Liverpool and others.

There’s no mention of how much higher the stipulation could be, only that the current price tag is set at $48m (£39m/€45m).

Inácio may be reluctant to lift that clause. O Jogo reports that while Sporting are hoping to boost his release value, the player has “frozen” talks due to interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.

They will turn 22 in August and a number of top clubs across Europe are watching closely.
