Instead of Arsenal and Chelsea, who were interested in signing him from Juventus.
The Italian player chose to reject the London clubs in favor of joining Liverpool. Yesterday, he signed a contract worth €15 million with a Premier League team. The Italian player aims to make a strong start in the Premier League. He was considered one of the best young attacking talents globally when he played a key role in Italy’s victory at the European championships. Unfortunately, his progress was slowed down by injuries. The player appears to have recovered from his injuries and is ready to perform at his highest level again. He did well with Juventus last year, scoring 10 goals in total. Liverpool wanted to improve their attack and signing the 26-year-old player could be a smart move.
However, his choice to reject offers from Arsenal and Chelsea will disappoint them. He was being sold for a low price and could have been a great new player. Chelsea is in need of a good winger, especially since players like Raheem Sterling might leave before the deadline. The Blues are looking for better quality and more creativity from their wide players. Meanwhile, Arsenal is in need of a flexible winger who can support players like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. The Italian player would have been a great addition for both teams, and now we have to wait and see if they can find other quality options before the transfer window closes later today.
