Juventus push for Chiesa but Liverpool set high asking price

Juventus continue negotiations with Liverpool for Federico Chiesa, but the Reds have reportedly demanded €20m for the Italian winger.

Juventus are in talks with Liverpool to bring Chiesa back to the Allianz Stadium just 18 months after his departure, but the latest reports in Italy suggest that the Bianconeri are nowhere near reaching an agreement with the Reds.

According to Juventus expert Romeo Agresti (via Calciomercato.com), Liverpool have set Chiesa’s price tag at €20m and are only going to discuss a permanent transfer for the Italian winger.

Juventus, on the other hand, push for a loan deal with an option to buy that will become mandatory if certain conditions are met.

In any case, the Serie A giants seem unwilling to match Liverpool’s asking price, so, inevitably, negotiations will continue in the coming days.

Several sources claim that Chiesa is open to returning to Juventus and according to Tuttosport, the 28-year-old has already contacted some of his ex-teammates at the Allianz Stadium.
