Richard Hughes might soon transform Liverpool’s otherwise quiet summer transfer window into a flurry of activity.
The Reds are on the brink of finalizing a move for Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is reportedly through his medical examination in Spain. Additionally, Liverpool appears to be looking to bolster Arne Slot’s attacking options.
Recent speculation has intensified as reliable sources like Romano have highlighted Liverpool’s interest in Juventus forward Federico Chiesa as the transfer deadline approaches, catching the attention of fans.
Despite a season disrupted by minor injuries, the 26-year-old Chiesa managed to score 10 goals in 37 appearances for Juventus, who are said to have lowered their asking price for the Italy international.
Although Slot has five high-quality attackers, there is currently no direct backup for Mo Salah on the right wing. A late-window acquisition of Chiesa could address this gap if Hughes can secure the deal.
Romano’s update suggests that Juventus is open to selling Chiesa and that he is willing to move to England, which could expedite negotiations if all parties act swiftly.
With only four days remaining before the transfer deadline, turning an initial interest into a completed deal will be challenging, but there are clear indications that Liverpool’s sporting director is intensifying efforts in the transfer market as the deadline approaches.
