Chiesa is valued at €14 million, while Nunez is valued at €45 million. Adding €20 million to the two players’ values makes it €79 million. And this might be a bit too high for Liverpool, as Osimhen is valued at €70 million on Transfermarkt.
The Reds are also looking at other options like Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko in attack. Both players would also be expensive.
