It's becoming increasingly apparent that Arne Slot is seeking a forward with European pedigree to provide some cover for talisman Mohammed Salah.
This comes after Liverpool made an approach for Juventus' Federico Chiesa with the Italian giving his full availability to the Anfield side according to Fabrizio Romano.
Kingsley Coman or Federico Chiesa?
Coman and Chiesa are both in similar positions when it comes to expressing their desire to leave their current clubs.
Chiesa however, is argubaly a better move for Liverpool to pursue.
The Italian has entered his final year of his current contract in Turin and therefore Juventus are only asking for €12 million to €15 million for the 26 year-old's signature.

It has the makings of a low-risk high-reward signing for the Anfield club who could get the best years of Chiesa if they manage to lure him to Merseyside.
Chiesa is capable of playing anywhere in attack providing potentially better cover to Salah than Coman, who primarlily plays on the left hand side of an attack, a position in which Liverpool are well covered in, with Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo.
The Frenchman won't be short on interest from across in the coming days having hit a crossroads in his Bayern career following Vincent Kompany's arrival.
He is under contract until 2027 and has got an estimated transfer value of €35.6 million.
