Klopp wants Chiesa at Liverpool and rivals Newcastle for Juventus star

Multiple sources in Italy claim Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is strongly interested in Juventus star Federico Chiesa and is ready to rival Newcastle for his signature.

The Italy international could leave the Allianz Stadium in the summer transfer window.

Friday’s printed editions of La Gazzetta dello Sport (page 17) and Tuttosport (page 2) claim several Premier League clubs are interested in the Bianconeri star, especially Newcastle and Liverpool.

The German tactician is a long-time admirer of the 25-year-old who has two years left in his contract in Turin.

Chiesa’s agent has reportedly demanded a new €7m-a-year deal, plus €1m bonuses, a sum that Juventus ‘can’t and don’t want to afford’ claims Gazzetta. Therefore, Chiesa’s sale is on the cards especially considering that the Bianconeri need circa €100m to compensate for the lack of Champions League revenues in 2023-24. According to Gazzetta, Liverpool value Chiesa at €40-45m, while Juventus’ asking price is circa €60m.
