Liverpool is rapidly nearing an exciting summer at the team, with new players expected to join the first team and the dugout. However, as Jürgen Klopp’s nine-year tenure at Anfield comes to an end, the club must nаme his replacement before making any acquisitions.

Liverpool’s management has been working hard behind the scenes following two significant hires made in advance of the upcoming season, even though there are still a lot of alternatives and no decision has been made yet. Following Jörg Schmadtke’s resignation in January, Richard Hughes will take over as sports director at Anfield, while former sporting director Michael Edwards has been named as the new CEO of Football for FSG.

Now that these positions are filled, Liverpool can concentrate on selecting Klopp’s replacement and making the acquisitions the future manager will need to carry on the excellent work the German manager has done at the team. Liverpool has already won the Carabao Cup for 2023–2024, is tied with Arsenal for the most points in the Premier League, and has advanced to the later stages of the Europa League.

This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumors that have surfaced on potential Reds arrivals today, which include a promising striker and a star player from Serie A.

Federico Chiesa, a youth

According to TV Play’s Fabio Santini, Liverpool has made an offer to capture Juventus winger Federico Chiesa this summer. In recent transfer windows, the 26-year-old has been strongly linked to a move to the Premier League; the Reds are now apparently reiterating their interest in the Italian international.

The 31-year-old Mohamed Salah is getting close to the end of his Anfield contract, and while his long-term future is still up in the air, preparations may be made for life without him. Considering his capacity to fill Salah’s place on the team, Chiesa is apparently one of the options under consideration by the club.

“Big names in the Premier League have made offers on Chiesa,” Santini stated. Specifically from Liverpool. They make between $40 and $45 million from the sale of Chiesa, and with that sum, Juventus can approach [Mateo] Retegui.

According to Liverpool.com, Chiesa can play in Salah’s position, but it’s unclear if he’ll be able to produce at the same level as the Egyptian. In the highest division of Italian football, he has seven goals and two assists, falling short of Salah’s total of 15 goals and nine assists thus far.
