Liverpool ready to strike deal after €60m price drop

Liverpool are in position to strike a deal after a dramatic €60m price drop. The Reds are as busy as can be.

Liverpool have been busier than any team in this transfer window. They've signed several elite players already, while losing a few, too.

Diogo Jota: Thank you

Florian Wirtz is the headline arrival, joining Liverpool for a club-record fee. Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez followed him as new full-backs.

Hugo Ekitike has also moved to Anfield in a big-money move that sees him boost competition up top. Of course, everyone hopes Alexander Isak joins him in that.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is the biggest name to leave - he's signed for Real Madrid. Jarell Quansah and Caoimhin Kelleher have also left the club, while Luis Diaz became one of the biggest sales in Liverpool's history this week as he signed for Bayern Munich.

And now Liverpool are ready to agree another sale - for a cut-price fee.

Federico Chiesa on the transfer list

Sport Mediaset reports that Liverpool are firmly looking to sell Federico Chiesa. This is under one year since signing him from Juventus for a fee just shy of €15m all-in.

The claim here is that Chiesa is available for just €10m - an actual loss for Liverpool on his transfer fee. More dramatically, it means a player once valued at €70m has suffered a €60m decrease in what are supposed to be his prime years.

The reality is that Chiesa didn’t get a fair go at it with Liverpool. His lack of fitness over the first half of the season made things difficult, while the squad’s other wingers kept performing at an incredible level.

And so Liverpool are now looking to move on quickly, even if it means selling for less than they paid. Napoli, AC Milan and AS Roma have all looked at Chiesa this summer, while Atalanta may now be the best-placed team as they’re on the brink of selling Ademola Lookman to Inter.

We can’t imagine Chiesa sticks around much longer, then, as that price is just so low. Any Italian side would love to take a chance on him at that figure, surely.

Rest in peace, Diogo Jota.
