Chiesa is set to join Arne Slot's Liverpool after the Reds <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/federico-chiesa-liverpool-done-agreement-reached-four-year-contract-anfield-juventus-star-reds-surprise-signing/blt8bb384230ade4153" target="_blank">agreed a deal with Juventus worth £11 million ($14.4m) plus add-ons</a>. The Italian said goodbye to Juventus supporters as he spoke to Sky Italia before heading to England, insisting he's "ready" for his next challenge.

WHAT HAPPENED?

It's been a very slow transfer window for Liverpool, but things are finally picking up pace as Friday's deadline approaches. On Tuesday the club announced an agreement has been reached for Valencia goalkeeper <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-signing-giorgi-mamardashvili-completes-anfield-transfer-georgian-valencia/blt3289b31d98c87065" target="_blank">Giorgi Mamardashvili to join next year</a>, and Chiesa will shortly arrive to bolster the Reds' attack.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"Ready to start this new adventure, I wanted to say goodbye to the Juventus fans," Chiesa said. "Thank you for your affection and for these years, I will carry you in my heart. It's sad but I'm really happy for this new adventure. I'm really happy and my family and I can't wait."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Federico Chiesa bound for Liverpool.

WHAT CHIESA SAID

Chiesa was told by Juventus boss Thiago Motta that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thiago-motta-tells-federico-chiesa-find-a-new-club-doesn-t-want-italy-star/blt90507abdd620b4ca" target="_blank">he wasn't going to be part of his plans</a> for the season, prompting his swift exit from the club. The 26-year-old starred for Italy en route to their Euro 2020 success, but a serious ACL injury in January 2022 sidelined him for nearly 10 months and he's continued to battle injuries since.

DID YOU KNOW?

Chiesa's arrival appears to signal the end of Liverpool's pursuit of Newcastle and England winger Anthony Gordon. It remains to be seen whether there will be any further incomings at Anfield before Friday's deadline, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-fans-give-mixed-reviews-giorgi-mamardashvili-deal-federico-chiesa-jarrad-branthwaite/blteec0b4242b0ea675" target="_blank">if the club's fans have their way, there will definitely be more business</a>.
