What Juventus Director Has Now Said About Federico Chiesa After Full Liverpool Debut
Liverpool fans were left in disbelief after the Reds successfully signed Federico Chiesa for a mere £12.5m during the summer transfer window.
While the true value of the deal for the Merseyside club is yet to be determined, Jamie Carragher may have already provided a hint.
He noted seeing a ‘glimpse’ of the former £80m-rated player during his full debut against West Ham, a player who had already made a name for himself in Italy.
What Has Juventus Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli Said About Federico Chiesa?
There appears to be no remorse from Juventus’ decision-makers regarding the 26-year-old’s summer transfer to Anfield.
Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli’s remarks on the situation were shared online by Fabrizio Romano via X (previously known as Twitter).
What Went Wrong for Federico Chiesa at Juventus?
Thiago Motta, the new Juventus manager, reportedly informed the Liverpool winger that he would not be included in the club’s plans for the 2024/25 season.
According to Italian reports referenced by 90min, there are several factors behind this decision, including the fact that the Italy international does not align with the head coach’s tactical approach.
This marks a significant shift for the player, who was once valued at nearly £80m. In contrast, Liverpool secured his services this summer for £10m upfront, with an additional £2.5m in potential add-ons.
The internal restructuring at the Serie A club ultimately worked in Liverpool’s favour, as the club were actively looking to strengthen their attacking options.
With the arrival of Chiesa, Arne Slot now has vital cover for Mo Salah on the right wing and the flexibility to utilise Chiesa’s versatility in other positions if necessary.
