Liverpool are interested in Juventus’ winger, Federico Chiesa amid Mohamed Salah’s impending departure, as per Calciomercato. 

In the event of Salah’s likely exit, Liverpool are actively seeking a replacement, and they have identified the Italian international as a potential successor to the Egyptian winger.

Salah’s current deal with Liverpool extends until 2025, but it looks that his exit is likely over the next two transfer windows amid heavy interest from Saudi Arabia.

According to a report from Football Insider, it’s been stated that Salah’s move to the Saudi Pro League next summer is practically a “done deal.”

During the recent summer transfer window, Al-Ittihad made efforts to get Salah but Liverpool rejected their significant bid, totaling £150 million.

Football Insider has also claimed that Salah has verbally agreed to join the Saudi Pro League, which has been drawing great stars. However, Liverpool have no intention of moving Salah in January, whatever of the bids they may receive.

Salah may soon become the next major star fleeing Europe for a journey to Saudi Arabia. Regardless, Liverpool’s attitude remain unwavering during the ongoing winter transfer window, as they have no plan to part with him while the season is in full swing.

However, a different situation may unfold in the approaching summer, as the winger might entertain an attractive proposition from the Saudi Pro League. In such a circumstance, Liverpool would find themselves in need of a replacement, and they have set their sights on Juventus’ winger, Chiesa, according to CalcioMercato.

The 26-year-old certainly comprises a crucial asset for Juventus, marked by his skill in one-on-one duels, adeptness at switching direction, and a continual challenge to the opposing defense. These traits render the Italian winger a strong contender to step into Salah’s shoes, fitting easily into Jürgen Klopp’s brand of play.

Nevertheless, Juventus holds no ambition to relinquish a player of Chiesa’s ability – who is crucial for both the present and future prospects of the club. The developing of Salah’s situation will be a matter of intrigue, and negotiations regarding Chiesa are likely to commence in the upcoming summer transfer market.

Chiesa is valued at £39m by Transfermarkt and he’d be a terrific signing if Liverpool could get a deal done in that price bracket. However, with Juve expected to be reluctant buyers, the Reds may have to come up with an offer they can’t refuse.
