Tottenham could have a trump card in race to sign Liverpool winger
Liverpool are ready to sell one of their attackers for a cut-price fee this summer, and this has alerted Tottenham Hotspur, who could have one big advantage over the other big clubs across Europe in the race for the player.
When Liverpool signed Federico Chiesa last summer, it was hailed as a smart piece of business by the Reds, but the move simply has not worked out for the winger.
The Italy international has made just five Premier League appearances for Arne Slot’s men this season, and it turns out that he could be allowed to exit Anfield after just one season.
It has now emerged that several big clubs are plotting a move for the former Juventus man, with Ange Postecoglou’s men in the thick of the race.
Tottenham could emerge as ‘serious contenders’ to land Federico Chiesa
CaughtOffside claim that Liverpool are willing to cash in on Cheisa this summer on the back of a disappointing first year at Anfield for the attacker.
In fact, it is alleged that the Premier League champions are ready to accept an offer of just €15m–€20m (£12.7m-£17m) for the Italian.
This relatively low valuation has attracted interest from both Napoli and AC Milan, who are now monitoring the Liverpool man’s situation.
However, Tottenham Hotspur may hand Cheisa an opportunity to remain in the Premier League, with the outlet stating that the Lilywhites could emerge as ‘serious contenders’ for the 27-year-old this summer.
Tottenham may have an advantage in Chiesa transfer race
CaughtOffside go on to add that Napoli and AC Milan have one major stumbling block, which is the winger’s current salary, with neither Serie A club likely to match his £150,000 per week contract at Merseyside.
Additionally, the publication backs up what we have heard from other sources by stating that Fabio Paratici is expected to re-join Tottenham in a formal role this summer.
This is expected to give Spurs an advantage in the race for Chiesa as Paratici is thought to have an excellent relationship with the winger’s agent, Fali Ramadani.
