Federico Chiesa is reportedly no longer part of Juventus’ plans for next season, with the Serie A superstar recently linked with a move to Liverpool.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Massimiliano Allegri plans to stick to his 3-5-2 formation for the new year, a system that doesn’t benefit a player like Chiesa, who has been alerted that he can move on this summer if a suitable bid is made.

Reportedly valued at £60m, Liverpool have been strongly linked with a move for Chiesa this summer as Jurgen Klopp is seemingly open to adding one more attacker to his ranks after the departure of Roberto Firmino, with the Italian an ideal addition for the Reds.

And now, a move could be fully on the cards for Liverpool with Chiesa now no longer part of Juventus’ future, a decision that could shock many supporters and motivate the Reds to sign the 25-year-old winger if they feel they can get a good deal for the former ACF Fiorentina star.

Indeed, whilst attack is the last position Liverpool should be looking to spend limited funds on this summer, there’s no denying that the signing of Chiesa would be one that excites a lot of supporters. And his new availability could be too alluring. prospect for the Anfield side to reject.

Chiesa is without question one of the best forwards in Italy and an attacker who could fit in at most top sides in Europe, and for Liverpool, testing the waters with Juventus for the winger could be a smart move if they’re serious about signing the 25-year-old.

As we know, attack is at the bottom of Liverpool’s transfer priorities this summer. But with a player as good as Chiesa potentially on the market, the Reds face no harm in investigating how much Juventus will want for the Italian international.
