Chiesa was once regarded as a £100 million player by Juve before suffering a serious ACL injury. Having run into the final year of his Old Lady contract, they decided to cash in. As Juventus are a public company listed on the Italian Stock Exchange, they must disclose any business conducted. On a document on the club’s website, they have revealed that Liverpool paid a total of €12 million for Chiesa - which equates to £10 million - with bonuses of up to €3 million (£2.53 million).
However, not all of that is upfront. In fact, it declares that the fee can be paid over four financial years. The document reads: “Juventus Football Club S.p.A. announces that an agreement with Liverpool FC for the definitive disposal of the registration rights of the player Federico Chiesa has been reached for a consideration of € 12 million, payable in four financial years, in addition to variable bonuses up to a maximum of €”3 million.
“This transaction generates a negative economic impact on the 2023/2024 financial year equal to €3 million, due to the residual value write-down of the net book value of the player’s registration rights.”
Liverpool have also signed Giorgi Mamardashvili for a fee of up to £29 million but the goalkeeper will remain on loan at Valencia for the 2024-25 season.
