According to reports, Bayern Munich will attempt to recruit a high-profile, costly player before Liverpool in the coming weeks.
With Thomas Tuchel allegedly a major fan of the 25-year-old’s abilities, Bayern Munich may be poised to beat Liverpool to the signing of Juventus and Italy winger Federico Chiesa this summer. Since performing well for Italy at Euro 2020, Chiesa has been linked with a move to the Premier League. He is now reportedly a target for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp wants to strengthen his team in the coming weeks.
In light of their plans to rebuild their current roster before the start of the upcoming season, Juventus is rumored to be debating whether or not to move Chiesa this summer. The player’s pay demands are said to have blocked negotiations for a new contract, which might result in his departure soon given that he is entering the final two years of his current contract.
Chiesa’s availability is rumored to have already been contacted by Liverpool, while Newcastle are also said to be interested in signing him up before Champions League play resumes to St. James’ Park the following season. According to Rai, Bayern Munich are ‘pushing hard’ to sign Chiesa to their star-studded roster, suggesting that they have joined the race to sign him.
Thomas Tuchel reportedly wants to strengthen his offensive options this summer and has identified Chiesa as a player of interest. Bayern Munich’s management is rumored to be preparing to make a first offer for the player soon. It is said that an offer of about £50 million is being prepared behind closed doors, but it is unclear whether this amount would be sufficient to persuade Juventus to sell.
The responses of Liverpool and Newcastle, who are reportedly eager to enter the competition for Chiesa’s services before the new season begins, are also unknown in the event that Bayern Munich makes a formal offer. The Reds could be in a precarious position after missing out on Champions League qualifying, since they won’t be able to provide Chiesa the opportunity to participate in Europe’s top club competition next season.
Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has previously indicated that despite the present circumstances at Anfield, he is not unduly worried about the likelihood of being outbid by competitors in transactions over the coming months.
