Liverpool have signed Federico Chiesa from Juventus for £10 million ($13.2 million). Chiesa had been close to joining Barcelona earlier in the transfer window.
In 33 matches last season with Juventus, Chiesa scored nine goals with two assists.
“I’m ready to start this new adventure, I wanted to say goodbye to the Juventus fans,” Chiesa told waiting journalists as he prepared to board a flight from Turin to Liverpool on Wednesday afternoon. “Thank you for your affection and for these years, I will carry you in my heart and thanks to Juventus.
“Is it sad to leave Juve like this? It’s sad but I’m really happy for this new adventure. I’m really happy and my family and I can’t wait.”
