Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing a bid to sign Juventus winger Federico Chiesa, with Liverpool also chasing the Italian international.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Bavarian giants are ready to launch a €50m (£44m) offer to bring the Serie A superstar to Germany, with Bayern hopeful of beating the likes of Liverpool to Chiesa as Juventus are now looking to offload the winger.

The Italian side’s financial situation means that virtually every player is now up for sale for the right price, including the likes of Chiesa, with Bayern looking to take advantage of Juventus’ issues by poaching one of their most valuable assets.

Lauded by supporters as a ‘relentless diamond’, Chiesa has been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool this summer having returned from a year-long injury last season. Yet despite strong rumours that the Reds could be interested, Bayern could now beat them to the punch.

Indeed, Thomas Tuchel’s side are set to undergo a massive squad overhaul this summer having just about won the Bundesliga title last season. And Chiesa could be an outstanding addition for the German side, though Liverpool could now consider making a rival offer for the winger.

Liverpool can’t allow Chiesa to join Bayern this easily

Chiesa is arguably one of the best wingers in world football when fully fit and in form, and for Liverpool, the Reds simply can’t allow the attacker to join Bayern as easily as what has been reported, with the Juventus forward ideal for Jurgen Klopp’s system.

Although Liverpool aren’t in any rush to add to their attacking ranks, a player as good as Chiesa can’t be allowed to slip through the Anfield side’s fingers, and missing out on the Italian to Bayern would feel like a hammer blow for the Merseyside giants this summer.
