Liverpool fans are seeing red after reports emerged that Juventus winger Federico Chiesa might be holding out for a potential move to Barcelona, leaving Anfield as his second choice.
The frustration comes as the Reds are closing in on Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, with a €35 million deal in place that will see him stay on loan at his current club for the season.
While Liverpool’s summer transfer window has been relatively quiet, the news of their interest in Chiesa has sparked excitement—only to be dampened by claims from Gianluca DiMarzio that the Italian star is stalling to see if Barcelona can secure his signature amid their financial struggles.

Fans are fuming at the prospect of a repeat of the Martin Zubimendi saga, where the Spanish midfielder rejected Liverpool in favor of staying at Real Sociedad. Chiesa’s hesitation has only deepened the frustration, with many supporters taking to social media to voice their discontent.
One fan summed up the mood: “So he is going to string us along for a few days to see if Barcelona can raise the money first. Sound that.” Another lamented, “Bro why are all these players so hell bent on going to Barcelona. They all end up regretting it.” The sentiment is clear: if Anfield isn’t Chiesa’s first choice, Liverpool fans aren’t interested.
