Key Highlights
- (Although, as we saw Thursday night, doesn’t exactly play all that often these days.) Juventus’ main desire was to try and bring Chiesa back to Turin on short-term loan deal with an option to buy.
- But, that could very well change slightly, with Di Marzio saying the Bianconeri front office are continuing their push to bring Chiesa in this month and could offer a deal that is the same loan with option to buy formula that becomes an obligation to buy under certain conditions.

- — but Di Marzio maintains that Liverpool will only listen to offers for Chiesa if it involves a permanent deal.
- The reported price that Liverpool want for Chiesa is between €12 million and €15 million. Juventus sold Chiesa to Liverpool two summers ago for an initial fee of €12 million with the potential for €3 million more in bonuses. If you want to know where Chiesa stands in the pecking order, he was once again an unused sub in Liverpool’s scoreless draw against Premier League leaders Arsenal on Thursday night.
- Another 90 minutes came and went, and Chiesa only touched the field during pre-game warmups and then after the final whistle when he shook the hands of his teammates.
