Juventus had previously been interested in a move for Alisson Becker, but their attention has now turned towards two more Liverpool players.

The Reds will not let Alisson leave the club this summer, and he’s now expected to see out his contract, which runs until the summer of 2027.

But the Serie A outfit are not done trying to prise players away from Anfield, with Federico Chiesa and Giovanni Leoni now on their radar.

Which Liverpool player do you think will have the BEST World Cup? 🔮

Juventus want Federico Chiesa and Giovanni Leoni

Previously, after hardly starting under Arne Slot during the 2025/26 campaign, Chiesa claimed that he was planning talks with Andoni Iraola.

He said: “I barely played in my first year at Liverpool, and in the last one, very little. I’ll go on a training camp in the US, then I’ll talk to the club and the new coach, Iraola, and we’ll see. I’m open to anything, the important thing is to play.

“I’m not so presumptuous to say I have to be a starter. I’m ready to fight for a place, anywhere.”

Should Chiesa decide that he does not want to remain at Liverpool after speaking to Iraola, a return to Juventus could be on the cards.

The Turin-based outfit have now appointed Giovanni Carnevali as their new CEO, and he is expected to be immediately busy in the transfer market.

After his arrival, La Gazzetta dello Sport say that Juve are interested in signing all of Cher Ndour, Chiesa, Leoni and Domenico Berardi. 

Chiesa moving would not be that surprising, given his previous lack of minutes at Liverpool.

However, it is hard to see the Reds parting ways with Leoni in the coming summer transfer window.

The young centre-back only made one appearance last season due to injury, but he is likely to have a more prominent role next term.

Liverpool have already lost Ibrahima Konate on a free transfer, meaning they will need Leoni and incoming signing Jeremy Jacquet to step up and compete alongside Virgil van Dijk next season.
