It is no secret that Antonio Conte already wanted Chiesa last year, although negotiations with Juventus never began.
Chiesa could also be a suitable name for Milan this summer.
Napoli's options on the wings

Chiesa believes his time at Anfield is over and Napoli are looking for two new wingers.
Their priority is Dan Ndoye as long as Bologna don't raise his price tag too high. Another option is Mattia Zaccagni. His price tag surely isn't low, but the Biancocelesti have already shown interest in Napoli's Giacomo Raspadori, just like their city rivals, Roma.

Fabrizio Romano says Premier League star WILL join Liverpool
Fabrizio Romano has essentially confirmed that one Premier League star will join Liverpool. It seems this one is going to happen. Liverpool have been busier than anyone in this transfer window as they've overhauled their squad. Perhaps nothing shows that off more than the fact they've spent the most money while also raking in the most. In fact, despite breaking their transfer record, signing the two most expensive full-backs in their history, and paying the most they ever have on a centre-forward, Liverpool aren't even in the top five for net spend in the Premier League. It's been remarkable. Shop the LFC Store LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Ridiculously, they're not even done. Liverpool just signed Giovanni Leoni from Parma and have several sales in mind. Ben Doak, to name one, should depart for Bournemouth before long. We'll see what happens with Harvey Elliott, too. Alexander Isak is the big name wanted before the window closes and Liverpool are hoping to convince Newcastle United to sell. But even that's not all of - there's another Premier League star on the agenda. Liverpool want Marc Guehi Liverpool are pushing to sign Marc Guehi before the window closes. There's potential for a cut-price deal there as the centre-back is now in the final year of his contract at Crystal Palace. Chairman Steve Parish has publicly admitted they'll try to sell, too. It's all about finding the right price. But Fabrizio Romano claims that even if Liverpool don't find that price, Guehi will ultimately land at Anfield. It might just need to wait a year. "On Liverpool, I insist they are still working for Marc Guehi," Romano said on YouTube. "There's still a conversation ongoing with Crystal Palace, still a conversation ongoing with the player side because the agreement with the player is okay, from what I'm hearing. "Still waiting to see what happens club to club. But Marc Guehi wants to go to Liverpool. If it's not now, it's going to be in the future." It seems we're either seeing Guehi arrive at Liverpool in the next two weeks or we're seeing it next summer, then. Romano certainly believes so. We imagine a lot of it might hinge on what Real Madrid plan to do with Ibrahima Konate. He's also out of contract in a year and Los Blancos want to sign him. Maybe they'll wait, but maybe they'll try a late push. Guehi would certainly be an ideal replacement.

Liverpool get confirmation over £100m signing
Liverpool have gotten confirmation that a perfect £100m signing will be available to them. Now it's a waiting game. Liverpool have broken their transfer record this summer by signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for £100m. And they're set to do so again. The Reds have their eyes on Alexander Isak, who is busy trying to force his way out of Newcastle United. He appears to be getting his way, too. Shop the LFC Store LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! 🔴 And if Isak does indeed leave Newcastle, Liverpool are poised to break the British transfer record to get him. A historic summer, then, as the Reds overhaul their squad. But there is still work to be done and anyone watching the first two games of the season can see it. Liverpool's midfield isn't quite clicking together. The return of Ryan Gravenberch will help but Liverpool lack a more combative midfielder in there. Wataru Endo is that to an extent, though the no.3 isn't exactly a first-XI regular. That's the next area for Liverpool to go-big on, then. And now they've got confirmation that there's a chance. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Carlos Baleba is still there Carlos Baleba is a player Liverpool have had their eyes on for around a year now. But they're far from the only ones. He's one of the best young midfielders in the Premier League, after all. Actually, he's just one of the best midfielders full stop. Baleba can just about do it all and is among the top midfielders for tackling, dribbling, passing, shooting... A true all-rounder and exactly the kind of player Liverpool would want to sign. However, they're not in any financial position to sign him this summer if they're aiming for Isak. The trouble, then, is that Manchester United have been eager to sign him. They've been willing to pay Brighton an awful lot of money to get a deal done this summer.
