Liverpool is reportedly preparing a bid for Lyon winger Malick Fofana (20), contingent on the departure of Italy international Federico Chiesa (27) from the Premier League champions. According to insights from Sacha Tavolieri, the Reds` scouting department highly rates the young Belgian, and the club is currently on standby for a potential move.
Chiesa is widely expected to leave Liverpool after just one season on Merseyside, a belief further reinforced by his exclusion from the club`s pre-season tour in Asia. Foot Mercato indicates that Liverpool is seeking a transfer fee of approximately €15 million for Chiesa, who remains under contract with the club until 2028.
Several Italian clubs have expressed keen interest in signing Chiesa. Atalanta Bergamo is said to be leading the pursuit, with AS Roma, Fiorentina, and Bologna also closely monitoring the situation.
