Federico Chiesa’s private jet arrives ahead of Liverpool’s physical, following a financial agreement with Juventus.

Federico Chiesa is scheduled to undergo a medical with Liverpool after flying in from Turin. He is slated to be Arne Slot’s second summer signing.

Liverpool is on the verge of signing Federico Chiesa after agreeing a fee with Juventus for the Italian international. Arne Slot waited until the conclusion of the transfer window, with Liverpool following up on Giorgi Mamardashvili’s signing with a move for Chiesa.

While the Georgian goalkeeper will not arrive until 2025, Chiesa is anticipated to have an immediate impact at Anfield. He is out of contract with Juventus at the end of the season, but Liverpool has managed to sign him for a discount sum of roughly $13 million (£10 million) plus add-ons.

Chiesa was observed boarding a private plane in Italy on Wednesday afternoon, and it appears he has now landed in Merseyside.

A social media message from Liverpool John Lennon Airport reported that a Cessna private jet had landed from Italy, with Chiesa believed to be aboard. The post, made just before 4pm (BST), read: “A view from the Old Air Traffic Control Tower of a Cessna landing from Turin minutes ago. On a completely different issue, the Italian term for church is “chiesa.”

Chiesa is now likely to travel to Liverpool’s AXA Training Centre for a medical and personal agreement. Despite the Italian’s previous history of injuries, no problems are foreseen.

The 26-year-old spoke with reporters just before boarding the private flight in Turin. He expressed excitement about the move as he prepared for his first taste of English football.

“I am happy, and I am extremely happy. “I want to say goodbye to the Bianconeri fans,” Chiesa told reporters at the airport, according Football Italia. “Thank you for your affection over the years. I will keep you in my heart. Thanks, Juventus.”

When asked if he was sad to leave Juventus, he said, “I’m very happy, and I can’t wait to become a new Liverpool player.” My family and I are overjoyed.” I’d want to thank Juventus and the fans for always making me feel special. Now it’s time for Liverpool. I’m quite happy. “I cannot wait!”

Chiesa might make his Liverpool debut this weekend when the Reds face arch rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.
