Barcelona were an option for the Italian, but in the end it was Liverpool who signed a player who, before tearing his cruciate ligament in January 2022, was destined to be one of the leaders of Italian football.
“It’s sad to leave Juventus, but I’m very happy with this new adventure and I can’t wait to get started,” Chiesa told Sky Sports on Wednesday as he was spotted at the airport on his way to Liverpool.
Chiesa’s signing is Liverpool’s first of the summer transfer window, after failing to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi after the Spanish player decided to stay at Zubieta.
At Anfield, Chiesa will be a reliable substitute for Mohamed Salah, the undisputed starter on the right flank. The Italian, who can also play on the left, where Luis Díaz normally plays, stood out like a pearl at Fiorentina, before making the jump to Juventus in the summer of 2020.
A huge blow to Barcelona: Marc Bernal’s serious injury is confirmed, along with the time he will be out and Flick’s alternatives
A knee ligament injury at the beginning of 2022 halted the progress of the now 26-year-old, who was out for ten months.
In addition to the injury, the arrival of Massimiliano Allegri and his more conservative style of football did not help the striker, who was much less daring than during Andrea Pirlo’s initial spell.
With his contract expiring in June 2025, Juventus have opted to find a way out for him rather than wait for him to leave for free next year.
With Italy, Chiesa won the 2021 European Championship, scoring two goals during the tournament, including the one against Spain in the semi-finals, and was named in the tournament’s best XI.
