Federico Chiesa’s Liverpool career started badly and went rapidly downhill from there.
A day before the end of the transfer window, the 26-year-old Italian international was signed from Juventus for a fee that could reach £12 million.
For a European champion of proven class, it might well have fallen into the category of ‘opportunistic’ signings spoken about by the Reds’ new sporting director Richard Hughes earlier in the summer.
“When Richard Hughes called me and he said, ‘Do you want to join Liverpool?’ – and the coach called me – I said yes immediately because I know the history of this club, I know what it represents to the fans. So, I’m so happy and I can’t wait to get started,” Chiesa told the club website upon his unveiling.
