Liverpool Signs Federico Chiesa from Juventus

Federico Chiesa has joined Liverpool from Juventus for an initial fee of £10 million, although he is unlikely to debut against Manchester United due to match fitness concerns after a long injury layoff. Liverpool manager Arne Slot praised Chiesa's versatility and work ethic, noting that he will be gradually integrated into the squad. Chiesa, who aims to relaunch his career after struggling at Euro 2024, has been seen as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires soon. Despite missing 91 games over four seasons due to injuries, Chiesa recorded commendable statistics last season, including an impressive top speed of 36.2 km/h, making him one of the fastest players at Liverpool. His signing is viewed as a gamble, but given the current transfer market, it is seen as a reasonable investment. Chiesa expressed his excitement about the move, calling it a 'dream'.
