According to press reports, Federico Chiesa landed at John Lennon Airport to prepare to sign a contract with Liverpool.

Specifically, Federico Chiesa flew from Turin and landed at John Lennon Airport at around 4:30 pm on Wednesday (local time). Liverpool agreed to pay Juventus a transfer fee of £10 million, plus £2.5 million in add-ons in exchange for the services of the top Serie A winger.

Chiesa will undergo a medical soon before signing a four-year contract. The Italian international has just one year left on his contract and has refused to take a pay cut, forcing Juventus to sell him before the transfer window closes.

After suffering a serious injury in early 2022, Chiesa has returned strongly. He was a key player for Juventus last season, scoring 9 goals in 33 Serie A appearances.

However, the player’s injury history is also something that Liverpool’s coaching staff need to pay close attention to. Sky Sports reported that since the 2021/22 season, Chiesa has been out for a total of 420 days and missed 80 Juventus matches. With a tournament as high-impact as the Premier League, they will have to use Chiesa cautiously.

Sharing with the media, the Italian player said: “I am very happy. I can’t wait to become a new player for Liverpool. My family and I are very happy. Let me thank Juventus and the fans. They will always be special in my heart.

Now it’s time to start a new journey with Liverpool. I’m ready for this adventure. Is it sad to leave Juve like this? Yes, but I’m really excited for this new adventure. I’m very excited.”
