Liverpool FC has announced the unexpected signing of Italian winger Federico Chiesa from Juventus for a total fee of £12.5m, comprising £10m upfront and £2.5m in add-ons. Chiesa has signed a four-year contract with the Reds, marking a significant coup for the club.

The transfer comes as a surprise, as Chiesa was not heavily linked to Liverpool in recent transfer windows. However, the Reds have moved swiftly to secure the services of the talented Italian, who will bolster their attacking options.

Chiesa’s arrival at Anfield is seen as a major boost for Liverpool, who are looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. With his pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability, Chiesa is expected to be a key player for the Reds in the Premier League and Champions League.
