Liverpool have pinpointed Federico Chiesa as the player they want to bring in to replace Mohamed Salah during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Liverpool Eye Salah Replacement
Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Juventus forward Federico Chiesa as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah. The Reds have a backup plan in case Salah decides to leave Anfield, with Chiesa emerging as a target. The 26-year-old has been in good form for Juventus this season, scoring eight goals and providing two assists in 30 games.
According to reports in Italy, Liverpool could reignite their interest in Chiesa this summer. His current contract with Juventus expires next year, and Liverpool could take advantage of the situation. Juventus are currently in negotiations with Chiesa for a new deal, but if they fail to reach an agreement, Liverpool could make a move for him as a replacement for Salah.
Reds and Man Utd Battle for Faye
Manchester United and Liverpool are set to go head-to-head in a battle to sign Barcelona teenager Mikayil Faye. The 19-year-old has impressed for Barcelona B this season and is highly sought after by top clubs.
Both Manchester United and Liverpool are interested in signing Faye, according to Mundo Deportivo. Bayern Munich, Lille, Monaco, and Nice are also said to be interested in the young centre-back. Faye’s agents have held talks with Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, due to the immense interest in the player.
Palmer’s New Deal at Chelsea
Chelsea are planning to offer Cole Palmer a significant new contract before the end of the season. The forward, who was signed from Manchester City last summer, has been in impressive form, scoring 25 goals in 42 appearances.
Chelsea intend to reward Palmer’s performances with a pay-rise and bridge the gap between his current salary and that of the club’s top earners. The 19-year-old currently earns over £80,000-a-week, significantly less than some of his teammates. The club sees Palmer as a key player for the future and wants to secure his services with a new deal.
