Liverpool have signed Juventus winger Federico Chiesa for £10m, with a further £2.5m in add-ons based primarily on team performance.
Chiesa, 26, joins on a four-year deal and is Arne Slot’s first signing to arrive at the club.
The forward was a star of the Italy squad that beat England on penalties in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley.
“I’m so happy to be a Liverpool player. 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,” Chiesa told the club website.
“So, I’m so happy and I can’t wait to get started.”
