Liverpool Sign Federico Chiesa From Juventus In Cut-Price Deal

Federico Chiesa joined Liverpool from Juventus on Thursday in a deal worth a reported 12.5 million pound ($16.5 million) for the Italian international, who has been dogged by injuries. The 26-year-old has joined on a four-year deal for an initial 10 pound million with a further 2.5 million pound dependent upon the team's performance during his time at Anfield. Chiesa was one of the rising stars of European football after his role in helping Italy win Euro 2020.

But his career has been derailed by a cruciate ligament injury suffered in January 2022 and a number of fitness issues since.

"I said yes immediately because I know the history of this club, I know what it represents to the fans," Chiesa said in a club statement.
