Juventus are reportedly getting ready for what is called a “last decisive attempt” to persuade Liverpool to let go of Federico Chiesa before the January transfer market shuts.
Sensing a unique chance to get the Italy international back to Serie A at a discounted price, Calciomercato claims the Bianconeri have made him one of their main priorities this month.
Chiesa was seen by Liverpool as a crucial squad option during Mohamed Salah’s absence at the Africa Cup of Nations, therefore they first rejected any proposals for him.
But now that the tournament is over, Salah is expected to return to Merseyside, so the Reds would be more amenable to talks.

According to Italian sources, Liverpool would explore a sale for about €15 million, which is in line with their plan to cut non-essential squad members and reinvest in long-term ambitions.
Chiesa is eager for a new beginning after struggling to get regular playing time under Arne Slot this season.
Chiesa Willing To Return Back To Italy
According to reports, the winger has given Juventus the go-ahead and expressed a strong desire to return home, where he previously experienced the peak of his career when playing for Fiorentina and the Old Lady.
Chiesa hoped to establish himself in Slot’s starting lineup while Salah was away for AFCON.
He has, however, mostly remained a supporting character despite occasional flashes of brilliance.
The move is being driven by the player. Chiesa is said to be in a desperate attempt to resurrect his career and reclaim his position as a vital starter for the Italian national team before the 2026 World Cup.
Chiesa has been reported to be willing to accept a lower salary in order to make the transfer financially possible, indicating his resolve to finalize the deal.
