Liverpool are <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1828123153123738032\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;exploring conditions&#8221;<\/a> as they see the Italian winger as a &#8220;possible option&#8221;, though it&#8217;s clear from their slow movement in the window that they won&#8217;t settle for an unsatisfactory deal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/26\/liverpool-giorgi-mamardashvili-signing-agreement-sealed\/\" target=\"_self\">Liverpool Agree \u00a329.6 Million Deal To Sign \u2018Fantastic\u2019 Euro 2024 Sensation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This comes after many rumours about the player leaving Turin; he hasn&#8217;t been in the squad for either of Juventus&#8217; opening fixtures. The 26-year-old previously had interest from<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/07\/29\/federico-chiesa-tottenham-hotspur\/\" target=\"_self\"> Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> and is currently <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1827971743371178041\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">linked<\/a> with a move to Barcelona. Juventus want to sell him, and he is personally keen on a Premier League move which may give the Reds an edge over the Blaugrana. The player himself has given his full availability and is excited about the potential move.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Does He Fit in?<\/h3>\n<p>This rumour may confuse some fans, as Arne Slot already has an abundance of wide players at his disposal. Mohamed Salah is of course a guaranteed starter on the right-wing, whilst Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez are all capable of performing on the left to a very high standard.<\/p>\n<p>Chiesa is also capable of playing as an attacking midfielder, but this also seems unlikely: Slot likes to play with two holding midfielders, meaning that Dominik Szoboszlai would be playing in the more advanced role.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/08\/17\/liverpool-joe-gomez-transfer-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Make<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Transfer Decision On \u2018Super Important\u2019 Star After Snub From Ipswich Town Clash<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The aforementioned four potential left-wingers, alongside Chiesa himself, are all between the ages of 25 and 27.
