Atalanta have reportedly identified Liverpool flop Federico Chiesa as a replacement for Inter Milan-bound Ademola Lookman.
According to Sportitalia via FCInterNews, La Dea are willing to offer around €12 million for the Italian winger.
Federico Chiesa left Serie A to join Liverpool last summer.
Despite Inter’s interest, the 27-year-old chose Anfield, but he soon came to regret this decision.
Indeed, the ex-Juventus forward had a terrible season in the Premier League and wants to return to Italy.
Atalanta Set Sights on Federico Chiesa to Replace Inter Milan Target Ademola Lookman
Liverpool are open to letting Chiesa return to his homeland after signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
However, the Reds must help Atalanta handle the winger’s substantial wages.
Meanwhile, the former Europa League winners are ready to offer Chiesa a three-year contract at the Gewiss Stadium.
Atalanta’s interest in Chiesa suggests they’re preparing for life after Ademola Lookman.
Indeed, the Nigerian has agreed to join Inter, even though the clubs are still at odds over a transfer fee.
He hasn’t had a terrible season, he’s just been injured. He got up to speed towards then end of the season and has looked good when he was called on to play. He even scored in a cup final. I would not be surprised if Liverpool decided to keep him. He is very versatile and for Liverpool it means he gives them a high quality backup to their incredible frontline.
I think we should try to sign Chiesa loan with option to buy at 12M I’m sure Liverpool would agree.
Then take 30-35M for Leoni plus esposito or another primavera player.
Rather than spend that money on lookman
