Federico Chiesa arrives at Liverpool at a bargain price of just 15 million euros. The former Juventus star joins the Premier League after scoring 32 goals in 131 appearances for Juve. 

According to Ovación, the Italian winger/forward’s arrival could signal a potential transfer for Darwin Núñez to Arsenal for a blockbuster fee.

Darwin Núñez has played 97 games for Liverpool and has scored 33 goals. The 25-year-old has developed a reputation in England for needing multiple chances to find the back of the net.

With Chiesa joining Liverpool, along with existing attackers Luis Díaz, Mo Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota, Darwin Núñez may become a highly sought-after asset for the Reds, possibly leading to a major transfer.

Arsenal is reportedly the club interested in Núñez, with a potential transfer fee estimated to be between 100 and 120 million dollars. For the deal to proceed, Arsenal and Liverpool would need to reach an agreement before the transfer window closes on August 30th. Núñez is under contract with Liverpool until 2028.
