Juventus chief breaks down Chiesa sale to Liverpool

Juventus sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has explained the reasons why they sold Federico Chiesa to Liverpool. 

The Reds signed a deal worth £12.5 million to get the Italy international’s signature. 

Chiesa joined Anfield shortly before the summer transfer window closed.

“With clarity and simplicity, with the player and his entourage we’ve always been very honest,” Giuntoli told Corriere della Sera.

“All together we’ve looked for the best solution for the player, who is very strong and we wish him all the best possible.”

Chiesa is still being worked up to full fitness by Reds boss Arne Slot, given he had virtually no preseason.
