21 Jul
Summary
- Atalanta ready to pay €12 million for Italy international Federico Chiesa
- Liverpool willing to cover large part of Chiesa's salary to facilitate the move
- Chiesa managed only 14 competitive appearances for Liverpool this season
In a surprising turn of events, Italian club Atalanta are poised to sign wantaway Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa for a fee of €12 million. The 25-year-old Italian international joined Liverpool just last year from Juventus, but has failed to establish himself in the Reds' lineup, managing only 14 competitive appearances and scoring 2 goals this season.
Recognizing Chiesa's desire to leave Anfield, Liverpool are now willing to facilitate the move by agreeing to cover a large part of the player's salary. This arrangement is expected to smooth the path for Atalanta to secure the services of the talented winger, who they see as a replacement for Ademola Lookman, who is pushing for a transfer to Inter Milan.
The potential transfer represents a significant opportunity for Chiesa to revive his career in his home country, after a disappointing spell in England. Atalanta, known for their astute recruitment and development of young talent, will be hoping to help the Italian international rediscover his best form and contribute to their push for European qualification.
