Serie A club lead the race to sign Liverpool star
Serie A side Fiorentina have emerged as the most likely destination for out-of-favor Liverpool attacker Federico Chiesa in January. The European Championship-winning Italian winger has not been able to impress in English football following his move from Italy last summer.
Chiesa, once regarded as one of the biggest prospects in world football, came through the youth ranks of Fiorentina. He then moved to Juventus initially on loan in 2020 before moving permanently in 2022.
The fleet-footed technically gifted winger became one of the key players for Juventus and Italy. However, things went downhill for him in Turin because of injury problems before he was shown the exit door last summer.
Liverpool chose to gamble on the 51-cap Italy international when he was available for just £12.5 million last summer. However, the gamble has not paid off as Chiesa has only played 123 minutes of football for the Reds this season.
