Liverpool are weighing up an ambitious summer rebuild in attack, with focus turning to both a blockbuster wide forward and opportunities emerging from Serie A.

The headline link is to a potential £86m move for a player currently admired by Manchester United, as Liverpool consider testing their rivals’ resolve for a highly rated attacking target. The forward, viewed as a long-term solution across the frontline, is seen as someone who could freshen up Jürgen Klopp’s options and eventually succeed one of the established stars in the front three.

Alongside that, Liverpool are also being kept informed about the situation of Federico Chiesa at Juventus. The Italian winger has long been admired at Anfield and is again being mentioned as a possible option should Juventus decide to cash in. Chiesa is understood to have exchanged messages with players and intermediaries connected to Liverpool, sounding out the prospects of a move and his potential role in Klopp’s system. His ability to operate off either flank, press intensely and carry a goal threat makes him an attractive fit for Liverpool’s style.

The article explains that Liverpool’s recruitment team are drawing up a shortlist rather than pursuing a single target. Financially, any major deal would likely depend on outgoings, with the club conscious of wage structure and net spend while still wanting to stay competitive with rivals such as United and Manchester City.

Overall, the piece portrays Liverpool as preparing for a significant offensive refresh: monitoring an £86m-rated United target as a possible marquee arrival, while keeping the door open to capitalise on Chiesa’s situation if conditions – sporting and financial – fall into place before the next transfer window closes.
