Federico Chiesa, direct competition for Luis Díaz?
Chiesa is 26 years old and started his career at Fiorentina in the 2016-17 season. From there he moved to Juventus at the beginning of 2021, initially on loan and then on a permanent transfer in mid-2022 for 44.6 million euros.
In the 2023-24 season, the attacker played 33 games, in which he scored nine goals and provided three assists. According to the Sofascore portal, the position in which he played the most at Juventus in that tournament was left winger, the same position in which the Guajiro plays.
However, Chiesa has the option of playing on both sides and, in fact, at Euro 2024, with the Italian national team, coach Luciano Spalleti had him playing on the right side.
If Chiesa’s arrival is confirmed, it remains to be seen where Arne Slot will use him. For now, Liverpool is preparing for its first Premier League derby of the season: on Sunday it will visit Manchester United (10 am, Colombian time).
