Liverpool plot return for Serie A star who previously rejected the Reds as Salah's future questioned

Liverpool could sign Juventus star Federico Chiesa as a Mohamed Salah replacement, according to a fresh report.

Jurgen Klopp is hoping to revive Liverpool with a major squad rebuild in the summer.

The Merseyside club are currently ninth in the Premier League some 21 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal after just 19 games.

However, the Reds have been linked with summer moves for the likes of Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez as they look to rejuvenate the team.

Another player that could be heading to Merseyside is Chiesa, the star of Italy’s Euro 2020 triumph.

Chiesa to Anfield?

According to Calciomercatoweb Liverpool are among several Premier League clubs interested in Juventus’ Chiesa.

The winger, who can be one of the most potent wide players in world football, would allegedly cost just £53million.

The 25-year-old suffered an ACL injury not long after his Euro heroics, which forced him out of action for the best part of a year.

The injury has restricted the 25-year-old to just six Serie A appearances this term, in which he has claimed two assists.

If Chiesa makes the move to Merseyside, he would be joining the Premier League giants only two-and-a-half years after allegedly snubbing a £60million move to the Reds.

Salah to PSG?

The Calciomercatoweb report also claims that Liverpool could be open to selling Salah to Paris Saint-Germain.

Salah, who only signed a new Liverpool deal last summer, could allegedly be offloaded to PSG for around £70million, with the proceeds of the sale going back into the playing squad.

The Egypt star has netted 17 times in all competitions this season, seven of which have come in the Champions League.

However, the 30-year-old has struggled to hit the heights of previous years for the Reds and has scored just seven Premier League goals. The winger is in danger of failing to hit 20 league goals for just the second time since his Merseyside move in 2017.
