Liverpool FC has officially completed the signing of Federico Chiesa from Juventus for a fee of €12 million, with potential add-ons of up to €3 million. 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. Despite these setbacks, Chiesa managed to score 32 goals and provide 20 assists in 131 appearances for Juventus over four seasons.Liverpool’s sporting director Richard Hughes and new manager Arne Slot were key figures in securing the deal. Chiesa joins a strong Liverpool frontline that includes Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo.This transfer marks Chiesa as Liverpool’s second signing under new manager Arne Slot, following the acquisition of Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will join the club in the summer of 2025 after a loan spell at Valencia.The relatively low transfer fee for Chiesa, whose market value had dropped from €70 million to €35 million in recent years, could prove to be a shrewd piece of business for Liverpool if the Italian international can recapture his best form.
