Liverpool 'want €20m for Chiesa'

Liverpool want €20m for Federico Chiesa as negotiations with Juventus continue. That’s according to Italian publication Calciomercato.com, who are reporting that the Reds have set Chiesa’s price tag at €20m and are only going to discuss a permanent transfer for the Italian winger.

The report goes on to claim that Juventus are pushing for a loan deal with an option to buy that will become mandatory if certain conditions are met. The Reds signed Chiesa from the Old Lady in August 2024 in an initial £10m deal after he was deemed surplus to requirements by former manager Thiago Motta.

But the Italy international has only made 34 appearances for the Reds to date, returning four goals and four assists. Juve manager Luciano Spalletti, who previously coached Chiesa with Italy, played down such speculation about a move for the Liverpool forward earlier this month.

“I am pleased you are giving me this news, seeing as we haven’t even had a meeting yet on the transfer market,” he said, per Football Italia. “But it’s the first I’ve heard of it. For the moment, it’s just thrown out there, but absolutely nothing concrete behind it.”

Liverpool 'make Ramsay decision'

Liverpool do not intend to allow right-back Calvin Ramsay to leave on loan this month. That’s according to the Daily Mail, who are reporting that Arne Slot wants to keep the full-back so that he can provide another option following Conor Bradley’s knee injury.

Bradley underwent surgery on a season-ending knee injury earlier this week. The Northern Ireland international was carried off in the closing stages of the Reds’ goalless draw at Premier League leaders Arsenal last Thursday.

He faces a race to recover in time for this summer’s World Cup, should his country qualify through the play-offs. Ramsay, meanwhile, is yet to feature in the Premier League for the Reds so far this season.

United saw Antoine Semenyo as a market opportunity but after missing out to Man City are unlikely to move for another winger, such as Yan Diomande.
