"Federico Chiesa leaves Juventus and heads for Liverpool: the move to Barcelona, which had a draft agreement with the winger on the financial terms, fell through, but found no room for manoeuvre to include him in the squad.

"Therefore, the Reds' inclusion was successful, having prevailed with an offer of €13 million euros for the player's registration.

Chiesa is preparing to sign a four-year contract with Liverpool."

"His contract should be for four years, while Juve should receive a figure of around €12 million plus bonuses."
