Federico Chiesa’s Response to Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes, and Frank Lampard Debate Has Liverpool Fans Talking
The debate about which legendary midfielder is the best – Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes, or Frank Lampard – has sparked intense discussion among football fans. Recently, Liverpool transfer target Federico Chiesa has weighed in on the debate, and his answer has got everyone talking.
In a clip that has resurfaced from 2022, Chiesa was asked by YouTuber Thogden to choose between the three midfield maestros. Without hesitation, the Juventus winger responded, "Who would I rather have in my midfield? Stevie G."
This answer is music to the ears of Liverpool fans, who have always revered Gerrard as a club icon. The former Reds captain made over 700 appearances for the club, scoring 186 goals and leading the team to glory in the 2005 Champions League final.
The timing of Chiesa’s response is also significant, as reports suggest that Liverpool have made an initial approach to sign the Italian international ahead of the summer transfer window closing on August 30. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Juventus are willing to sell Chiesa for a cut-price deal, with the winger being left out of the squad for both matches in the Serie A this season.
Moreover, Chiesa has reportedly emptied his locker at Juventus’ training base as he prepares to leave the club this summer. With his contract negotiations expected to be easy, the Reds are likely to get a deal done if they meet the asking price of €15 million.
Barcelona are also said to be interested in Chiesa, but the player is reportedly keen on a move to the Premier League, with Liverpool the most likely destination. If the deal falls through, the Reds have reportedly identified Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman as an alternative option.
As the transfer window approaches its climax, one thing is certain – Chiesa’s answer to the Gerrard-Scholes-Lampard debate has sparked a buzz around his potential move to Liverpool. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if the Reds can finally bring the Italian international to Anfield.
