Liverpool's summer spending will be larger than £ 250 million once Hugo Ekitike's transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt has been completed and Arne Slot knows that he has to discharge some players to balance the books – start with Federico Chiesa
Liverpool is waiting for Atalanta to sell breathola lookman to Inter Milan before he loads Federico Chiesa to the Serie A -side, according to reports.
Chiesa has not succeeded in going in Anfield since he came to the club from Juventus for around £ 10 million last summer, with injuries that largely disrupt his progress.
The winger made only one start in the Premier League, because he was limited to only 14 performances in all competitions and scored twice.
Chiesa was not included in the pre-season tour of Liverpool by Asia, so that his immediate future was put to the club at the club. Liverpool's summer spending is £ 250 million once Hugo Ekitike has arrived and Arne Slot will have to punish some outputs to balance the books.
There has been speculation that Chiesa could return for months to his native Italy and Football Italia has revealed that Atalanta is ready to save the 27-year-old from his nightmare spell.
The Bergamo outfit is ready to make a movement for Chiesa, but only when they have confirmed the Exit of Lookman because they see him as the replacement of the English star.
Inter is currently on the Marktman Market, which surprised last season after scoring 20 goals and assisting six times, but Atalanta demands at least £ 43 million if they want to make their star forward.
The Milan-Outfit wants to rebuild their team after the departure of manager Simone Inzaghi, who came after their painful 5-0 loss for PSG in the Champions League final.
The report states that Atalanta is willing to sell lookman, who is also interested in Napoli, but only if an interest club meets their requirements. So far, Inter has only offered around £ 34 million.
It continues to say that Chiesa is “probably” an Atalanta player as a lookman has left once, where the player desperately plays regularly again and suggests the potential World Cup 2026 team of Italy.
Chiesa will know that his playing time will be shortened this season with Cody Gakpo the first choice on the left wing, while the presence of new attacking players Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike will only push him further into the pecking order.
He started his career at Fiorentina and became a huge hit when he scored 34 times in 153 performances before he came to Juventus in 2020 – and although he was initially a success in Turin, the opportunities dried up quickly in the midst of injuries before he signed for Liverpool last summer.
