Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool will pay over €13m to secure Federico Chiesa’s signature on a permanent transfer from Juventus.
Chiesa is already travelling to Liverpool to undergo medical tests with the Reds and sign a four-year contract.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Italian star told reporters that he couldn’t wait to start a “new adventure” at Anfield.
Chiesa had a year left in his contract at the Allianz Stadium and had been training separately from the first team during the summer as he was not part of Thiago Motta’s plans.

For these reasons, Juventus’ asking price was just €15m, but according to Fabrizio Romano, the Bianconeri agreed to let the player go for a fee slightly above €13m.
Juventus will officially announce the transfer fee once Chiesa signs his contract with Liverpool.
Cristiano Giuntoli met Chiesa’s agent on Tuesday night and the Reds finalised the agreement with Juventus and their player the following day.
It’s been a busy day in Turin today as the Bianconeri have also welcomed Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta.
