LIVERPOOL and Newcastle United “lead the race” for an unsettled Juventus star in a bargain £30million transfer.
It comes just two years after the Reds reportedly had a £100million bid rejected for the same player.

Jurgen Klopp is looking to continue his summer spending following the £55million signing of Alexis Mac Allister this week.
However, he faces competition from Newcastle for the signature of Italy’s Federico Chiesa.
Il Corriere dello Sport report, via Football Italia, that the two Premier League clubs are leading the charge when it comes to signing the forward.
The report adds that Chiesa does not feel “at the centre of the project” in Turin.
Bayern Munich are also said to be tracking the 25-year-old, who has an asking price in the region of £30million.
Chiesa returned from a knee injury in October and went on to tally four goals and six assists in 33 appearances the season.
He made just 11 starts for Massimiliano Allegri, though, as he failed to cement a place in the team.
It is not the first time that Chiesa has been linked with Liverpool, who were rumoured to have failed with a £100million bid in 2021.

Manchester United were also linked with the Euros winner around the same time.
Liverpool were again said to be interested in January, with Chiesa seen as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah.
