Liverpool Football Club has officially confirmed the signing of Italian international Federico Chiesa on a permanent transfer from Juventus, pending global clearance. The versatile forward joins the Reds for a reported £10 million fee, with an additional £2.5 million in potential add-ons based on team performance. Federico Chiesa is on the verge of completing his highly-anticipated move to Liverpool, as the talented Italian winger is set to sign a four-year contract with the Premier League giants. The 26-year-old’s arrival is anticipated to bolster Liverpool’s attacking options and provide depth to the squad as they compete in multiple competitions this season.
Federico Chiesa has officially joined Liverpool Football Club from Juventus in a €15 million deal. The 26-year-old Italian international, who previously played for Fiorentina, was entering the final year of his contract at the Allianz Stadium.
Chiesa has reportedly agreed to a four-year contract with Liverpool, securing his place at Anfield until the summer of 2028. This move marks the first outfield signing for the club under the leadership of new manager Arne Slot, as Liverpool looks to strengthen their squad and build upon their attacking options.
“I’m so happy to be a Liverpool player. When Richard Hughes called me and he said, ‘Do you want to join Liverpool?’ – and the coach called me – I said yes immediately because I know the history of this club, I know what it represents to the fans,” Chiesa said in a statement on the club website.
Federico Chiesa departs Juventus after four full seasons, during which he made 131 appearances across all competitions, scoring 32 goals. Federico Chiesa’s impressive career includes being an integral part of the Italy squad that triumphed in the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship. As a key player for Juventus at the time, Chiesa contributed to his national team’s success, demonstrating his skills on the international stage and further solidifying his reputation as a top-tier winger.
The summer has been uncertain for the Italian international, as he was informed that he would not be part of new manager Thiago Motta’s plans for the upcoming season. Chiesa found himself among players fitting outside the club’s 2024-25 season vision.
Consequently, Chiesa spent much of the summer training away from the first-team group at Continassa, as he was urged to secure a transfer before the end of the summer transfer window.
While Barcelona expressed interest in the past week, the Spanish club needed to offload players before a move for Chiesa became a viable option.
Now set to embark on a new chapter with Liverpool, Chiesa becomes the seventh Italian player to represent the Reds in the Premier League era, joining a prestigious list that includes Mario Balotelli, Fabio Borini, and Alberto Aquilani.
Roma has officially announced the mutual termination of Rick Karsdorp’s contract, ending the right-back’s seven-year tenure with the club. Since joining the Giallorossi in 2017, Karsdorp has made 157 appearances and played a vital role in Roma’s 2022 Conference League victory.
In a statement on the club’s website, Karsdorp expressed gratitude to Roma and its fans, acknowledging the city as the birthplace of his two children. As the Dutchman departs the Stadio Olimpico, he leaves a legacy of dedication and commitment to the club.
“I want to thank the Roma fans for these crazy seasons, I have always given my all and my two children were born in this city. This makes me very proud. Ciao Roma,” Karsdorp said in a statement released on the club website.
AS Roma has formally announced the mutual agreement to terminate the contract of Dutch right-back Rick Karsdorp, effectively concluding his seven-year stint with the Italian club. Arriving from Feyenoord in the summer of 2017, Karsdorp made 157 appearances for the Giallorossi and played a pivotal role in Roma’s 2022 Conference League triumph.
Karsdorp had previously spent the 2019-20 season on loan with Feyenoord in the Eredivisie and was recently informed that he would not be a part of Daniele De Rossi’s plans for the upcoming season. Consequently, he was excluded from the matchday squad for the first two games of the Serie A season. After De Rossi’s decision to remove him from the first-team group, he had been training individually.
The Dutchman’s time at Roma was also marked by a public fallout with De Rossi’s predecessor, Jose Mourinho, who had attempted to offload him in 2022. With Karsdorp’s departure, Roma now has Zeki Celik and Saud Abdulhamid, who joined Al-Hilal on Tuesday, to fill the right-back position.
In a statement on the club’s website, Karsdorp expressed gratitude to Roma and its fans, acknowledging Rome as the birthplace of his two children. Karsdorp leaves a legacy of dedication and commitment to the club as he bids farewell to the Stadio Olimpico.
