Juventus remain determined to bring back Federico Chiesa this January, with the Italian forward still considered the club’s top target to strengthen Luciano Spalletti’s attack. Despite a growing list of alternatives both in Serie A and abroad, Chiesa is the preferred choice at Continassa given his experience, familiarity with the club, and proven record in the Italian league.
Searching for a Compromise
Tuttosport report that negotiations with Liverpool are ongoing, but discussions have reached a delicate stage. The Reds are standing firm on their position, preferring a permanent transfer worth at least €10 million. Juventus, meanwhile, are seeking a more flexible deal to limit financial risk while evaluating Chiesa’s form and fitness after a mixed spell in England.
According to reports, the Bianconeri are considering a compromise — a loan agreement with an obligation to buy, triggered by a certain number of appearances. Such a formula would allow Juventus to assess the 28-year-old’s continuity and physical reliability before committing to a full transfer. It would also provide Liverpool with eventual guarantees of a definitive sale, satisfying both sides’ interests.
Next Steps in Negotiations
The two clubs have already exchanged views on the key aspects of the deal and are expected to continue talks over the coming days. For Juventus, the priority is ensuring that Chiesa can rediscover consistency, an area that Spalletti plans to evaluate closely should the forward return to Turin.
Liverpool, for their part, are monitoring developments while awaiting the return of Mohamed Salah from the Africa Cup of Nations — a factor that could indirectly affect Chiesa’s situation and timing.
Chiesa’s Perspective
From the player’s point of view, the need for regular playing time and trust is paramount. With the next World Cup on the horizon, Chiesa knows this move could define the turning point of his career. At 28, he stands at a crossroads — a decisive moment to relaunch himself and regain the form that once made him one of Italy’s brightest attacking talents.
If the two clubs manage to find a workable agreement, the deal could prove beneficial for everyone involved: Juventus would regain a familiar talent, Liverpool would secure a satisfactory resolution, and Chiesa himself would get the chance to reignite his career where it truly began.
