Atletico Madrid are already preparing for life without Angel Correa. The Argentine forward is expected to leave soon, with reports suggesting a move to Mexico is almost done.
His exit would create space in attack, and the club has wasted no time searching for replacements. One of the names on the shortlist is Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguayan striker is open to leaving Liverpool, and Atletico seem keen. However, Liverpool will be asking for a generous price for the Uruguayan.
While the 26-year-old remains an option, the club is exploring a cheaper and possibly smarter solution.
With transfer costs rising fast, Atletico want to be careful, especially as they are already pushing for deals involving Cristian Romero and Alex Baena.
Now, according to Diario AS, Atletico Madrid are looking to bring Federico Chiesa.
Liverpool signed him just last summer, but after a mixed season, they are willing to let him leave.
A loan move is even on the table. That would allow Atletico to strengthen without stretching their budget.
Napoli are also in the race and would love to bring Chiesa back to Serie A. But Atletico have the edge in negotiations.
If the deal goes through, it would mark a fresh start for the Italian star and a clever piece of business for Atletico.
The 27-year-old Italian featured 235 times in the Serie A, where he notched up 47 goals and 43 assists.
After he moved to Liverpool, he barely featured for the Reds in the Premier League. He just made 6 appearances without any goals or assists.
It is quite evident that Federico Chiesa is not in the plans of Arne Slot. The Dutch manager wants to move him on.
With Atletico Madrid showing interest, Liverpool will be ready to do business as they want funds for the Rodrygo deal.
