The 26-year-old Italian international has signed a four-year contract with the Reds, keeping him at Anfield until 2028.Chiesa expressed his enthusiasm about the move, stating, ‘I’m so happy to be a Liverpool player. When Richard Hughes called me and he said, ‘Do you want to join Liverpool?’ – and the coach called me – I said yes immediately because I know the history of this club, I know what it represents to the fans’.The transfer comes after Chiesa’s challenging period at Juventus, where he struggled with injuries, including a serious knee injury in 2022 that sidelined him for 10 months.

Chiesa will wear the number 14 jersey for Liverpool and is expected to provide additional depth and quality to the club’s attacking options, potentially allowing for more rotation with established stars like Mohamed Salah.This transfer marks Chiesa as Liverpool’s second signing of the 2024/25 season, following the acquisition of Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will join the club in the summer of 2025 after a loan spell at Valencia.
