According to reports, Liverpool are preparing a bombshell signing before the summer transfer window closes as they target three centre-backs.
For most of this summer, supporters have been left feeling frustrated as the Premier League giants have been inactive in the transfer market.
After missing out on Martin Zubimendi earlier this summer, the prospect of Liverpool not making a single signing during this window was a real possibility.
However, Arne Slot s side have been making moves in recent days and they could complete one or two signings before the window closes on Friday night.
The Reds have already confirmed they have an agreement with Valencia to sign Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will complete his move to the Premier League club at the end of this season.
Juventus winger is also in Liverpool s sights
Chiesa has been deemed surplus to requirements by Juventus but he is a long-term Liverpool target and they could land him for a cut-price fee of around £12m.

Liverpool s decision to pursue Chiesa at this stage is a puzzling one as they are already well-covered in attacking areas with Mo Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez to choose from.
Heading into this summer, it was widely reported that one of their priorities would be to sign a young centre-back, but they are yet to acquire one.
However, a report from journalist Francois Plateau claims Everton s Jarrad Brantwaite is one of three players on Liverpool s radar at the moment after the Englishman s breakout season in 2023/24.
A move for the Everton star is subject to Liverpool letting one player leave before Friday s deadline, though.
Plateau said: Liverpool have been tracking RB Leipzig’s Castello #Lukeba, Inter’s Alessandro #Bastoni, and Everton’s Jarrad #Branthwaite, and could make a last-minute bid for one if Joe #Gomez departs this week.
The club won’t force Gomez, their longest-serving player, out — it’s up to the 27yo Englishman to decide his future.
