Italian international Federico Chiesa was a big hit at the last two EUROs, and became a force to be reckoned with by some of Europe’s best clubs.
However, he has been plagued by a string of injuries in recent years and has yet to regain top form.The 26-year-old winger was out of contention under new manager Thiago Motta and was looking for a new club, but Liverpool jumped at the chance.
He is expected to cost around £15 million initially and would be a good value reinforcement if he plays to his true potential.
And Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the transfer market, posted ‘Here We Go’ and said that the Italian attacker had joined Liverpool. The transfer fee is £13 million + add-ons and a four-year contract will be signed with the player’s side.
“Federico Chiesa to Liverpool, here we go! Agreement done for €13m initial fee with add-ons.”
“Four year contract for Chiesa as new Liverpool player, set to fly later today.”
“Chiesa accepted Liverpool immediately. Deal DONE.”
“Exclusive story confirmed.”

The front-line player, who is expected to back up Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, can also play on both wings or in the middle and could be a valuable asset to get through the overcrowded Premier League.
Meanwhile, promising 18-year-old Scottish international Ben Doak is likely to leave the team on a permanent transfer or loan.
Will the former Fiorentina forward regain his former brilliance in England…?
