Liverpool are reportedly ‘working to complete’ the signing of Juventus star Federico Chiesa before the transfer window closes on Friday.

The Reds have been quiet over the past few months after Arne Slot ruled that he wanted to work with his squad in pre-season before highlighting areas for improvement. But Liverpool appear to have kicked into gear this week.

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, and they are now pushing to bolster their forward ranks.

According to The Athletic, Liverpool are accelerating in their push to sign Chiesa from Juventus, with a fee in the region of £12million expected to be enough to secure the signature of the versatile forward.

The Reds are long-term admirers of Chiesa and have now ruled that this summer is the ideal opportunity to acquire his services. Slot’s side reportedly held exploratory talks with Juve earlier this week and they have decided to ‘proceed’ with the pursuit.

Liverpool are in discussions with the Italy international over a four-year deal.

The Reds have been heavily linked with signing a forward this summer, with reports speculating on several occasions that Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz could depart. However, despite both players appearing set to stay at Anfield, signing an alternative option out wide.

Chiesa is also capable of playing on either flank as well as through the middle, and his versatility is likely to be a very attractive attribute on Merseyside.
