Liverpool ‘Receive Late Approach’ for Federico Chiesa After Champions League Snub

Liverpool have reportedly received a late approach for Federico Chiesa after the Italian forward was left out of his club’s Champions League squad.

The 27-year-old has come on as a substitute in all three of Liverpool’s Premier League games so far this season, scoring in the 4-2 opening day win over Bournemouth.

Despite starting well, Liverpool decided to leave Chiesa out of their squad for the Champions League league phase.

Now, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Turkish side Besiktas are interested in bringing the Italy international to the Super Lig.

“I can also reveal to you that Beşiktaş also called for Federico Chiesa,” Romano said. “Besiktas in the last 24, 48 hours tried to call for Federico Chiesa to understand the situation at Liverpool.”

The Turkish transfer window is one of a few that remain open and won’t close until September 12, so there is plenty of time for a deal to be struck.
