Liverpool Fans Outraged After Learning Juve’s Federico Chiesa is Considering a Delayed Move to Anfield
Liverpool fans are up in arms after learning that Juventus winger Federico Chiesa is considering a delayed move to Anfield, with some fearing a repeat of the Martin Zubimendi saga. According to Gianluca DiMarzio, Chiesa is willing to wait a day to see if Barcelona can secure a deal for him, citing their financial issues and difficulties in registering players.
If Barcelona can’t make a deal happen, Chiesa will look at other options, including Liverpool. This has left many Reds fans feeling frustrated and concerned that they may be treated as a backup option. On social media, fans are expressing their discontent, with many stating that they don’t want Chiesa to join the club if Anfield isn’t his top destination.
What’s Behind Chiesa’s Thinking?
Chiesa, 26, has had a series of minor injury issues since recovering from a cruciate ligament injury in January 2022. Despite this, he managed to score 10 goals in all competitions last season, his highest tally since the 2020/21 campaign. However, his uncertain fitness record and Juventus’ reluctance to sell him could be contributing to the delay.
A Repeat of Zubimendi’s Saga?
Liverpool fans are still reeling from the collapse of the Martin Zubimendi deal, where the Spanish midfielder chose to stay at Real Sociedad rather than join the Reds. If Chiesa were to follow suit, it would be a blow to Liverpool’s summer transfer plans. The club has been linked with several high-profile signings, including Juventus’ Mattia De Sciglio and Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Should Liverpool Pursue Chiesa?
While Chiesa’s talents are undeniable, Liverpool fans are left wondering whether it’s worth the risk. If the winger is willing to delay a move to Liverpool to see if Barcelona comes through, it may be a sign that he’s not fully committed to joining the Reds.
In the end, it’s up to Liverpool’s transfer team to weigh the pros and cons of pursuing Chiesa. If they believe he’s the right fit for the club, they may still be willing to take a chance. But for now, fans are left feeling frustrated and uncertain about the state of the club’s transfer business.
