"I'm so happy to be a Liverpool player," Chiesa told Liverpool's website. "When [sporting director] Richard Hughes called me and he said, 'Do you want to join Liverpool?' -- and the coach called me -- I said yes immediately because I know the history of this club, I know what it represents to the fans. I'm so happy and I can't wait to get started."
Chiesa, whose contract at Juventus expires at the end of this season, has been hit by a series of injuries, including a 10-month ACL layoff, since helping Roberto Mancini's Italy team to success in Euro 2020.
The deal, worth €12 million ($13.3m) plus €3m in add-ons, will see Chiesa join Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo and Luis Díaz in an already talented front line on Merseyside.
Thiago Motta, who replaced Massimiliano Allegri as Juventus coach for this season, had told Chiesa he was free to leave the club earlier in the transfer window as he was not part of the club's plans for 2024-25.
