Overview
- Federico Chiesa is keen on a Turin return and is prepared to lower his wages, while Liverpool resists a simple loan and favors a paid or permanent solution.
- Liverpool’s stance is shaped by Mohamed Salah’s post‑AFCON return, with reporting indicating a valuation of at least €15–20 million for a January exit.
- Juventus has proposed structuring the deal with conditions tied to appearances, as the club seeks to limit upfront risk on fee and salary share.
- Oscar Mingueza remains a realistic defensive addition now for about €5 million due to his expiring Celta Vigo contract, with Barcelona entitled to a sell‑on share and Aston Villa also monitoring.
- If Chiesa cannot be secured, Daniel Maldini is the most concrete alternative, with exploratory contacts for Jean‑Philippe Mateta and summer planning continuing for Marcos Senesi; youth prospects Alfonso Montero (to 2027) and Mazur (to 2028) have been renewed.
