Federico Chiesa cannot escape reports linking him back to Juventus, while Conor Bradley has taken an important step on his injury return after undergoing surgery.Will Federico Chiesa join Juventus? New transfer claimChiesa’s lack of involvement under Arne Slot has consistently seen his name linked with a move away, with former club Juventus currently exploring the possibility of his return.A loan is very unlikely, and the Athletic’s James Pearce reported that for Liverpool to even consider doing business, they’d need a “significant permanent offer on the table, and they would need to be able to recruit a suitable replacement.”It hints at the possibility of the club being open to doing business, on the right terms, as ever, and now Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport claim Chiesa is willing to take a wage cut.While certainly not the most reliable outlet, they are pushing the idea that the No. 14 is willing to reduce his €6 million salary to assist a deal between Juventus and Liverpool.This would help the Italian side with sending the money on to the Reds, but the difference that would make would likely be marginal when it came to Liverpool’s demands, which are unknown.It is regarded as a “significant” show of desire to rejoin Juve, too right, but in all likelihood it is hard to see any deal being struck this month!Liverpool FC News: Conor Bradley surgery, Trey Nyoni minutes and Mo Salah at AFCON• Conor Bradley has successfully undergone knee surgery and in a social media post vowed that “the comeback starts now.” There’s no timeframe on his recovery, but he will not be back this season• Trey Nyoni played for the U21s in a friendly after featuring for just two minutes off the bench against Barnsley, and there was also a return for Calum Scanlon after 353 days out• Liverpool have not had a lot of loan success so far and talks have taken place over whether Lewis Koumas will return from Birmingham City, he’s made only five league starts• Ajax manager Fred Grim has explained James McConnell has returned to Liverpool but there are “still some administrative procedures to be completed” before his loan officially ends – he’s currently recovering from an unknown injury• And a reminder, Mo Salah faces Sadio Mane‘s Senegal in the AFCON semi-final on Wednesday evening.
