The surprising reason why Klopp is happy about Juventus' new punishment

During the last season, the world football world saw how UEFA sanctioned one of the most important teams in Serie A, Juventus, with the loss of points in the Italian championship due to alleged financial inconsistencies and mismanagement of the club with respect to some transfers made in the past. This punishment caused the Bianconeri team to go from fighting for the title to seventh place, out of the Champions League and the Europa League.

However, Juventus managed to stay in contention and qualified for UEFA's third European competition, the Conference League. However, for Juventus this meant a significant financial loss and has also generated a lot of disappointment among their fans who are used to playing in the Champions League. However, as often happens in life, the sadness of some can be the joy of others.

And it is that our Liverpool could benefit from a new sanction that would be imposed on Juventus. According to the Italian media Corriere dello Sport, UEFA will sanction the club from the city of Turin because it would have broken financial rules in certain transfers. The punishment would leave them out of the Conference League, so Juventus could face a season without European competition.

This news could turn out to be very positive for the Anfield squad, who could now take advantage of the situation to try to snatch one of Juventus' best players that Jürgen Klopp has had in his sights for several weeks. We are talking about Federico Chiesa, who has aroused the interest of Klopp who would see him as the heir to Mohamed Salah and could take advantage of the fact that Juventus will not play European competitions to convince him to join Liverpool.

How much would Liverpool pay for Chiesa?

Federico Chiesa is currently valued at 40 million euros, however given Juventus' current situation, Liverpool could try to offer a little less than that and wait for the Italian club's board to agree to get rid of one of their best players.
