Just when Liverpool fans probably thought they would go through the entire transfer window with no signings to see at Anfield this season, it seems the club has sprung to life.
It has apparently been agreed for Valencia goalkeeper, Giorgi Mamadashvili, but he will stay at Los Che for the 24/25 season, and will come to Liverpool next summer.
With every Premier League club around them seemingly going about their trade and keeping quiet, the lack of new players coming through the door at Anfield has proved to be a concern.
However, as CaughtOffside columnist and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now developed, the final details are being worked out for Liverpool to secure the signing of Juventus midfielder Federico Chiesa.
?? A deal between Federico Chiesa and Liverpool on personal terms is almost done! The final details are being sorted out today.
A four-year contract is in place after preliminary talks that were only revealed on Monday.
Juventus and Liverpool are in direct talks to reach a financial agreement.

It was thought that the Italian could be a cheap option for Barcelona, as it is believed that he will not be able to repay the goal he set for Nico Williams.
Now it looks like they have lost Chiesa, and their loss is Liverpool's obvious gain.
Liverpool are on the verge of signing Chiesa
Romano notes that both Juve and the Reds are now in direct talks to close the deal, with personal terms almost agreed.
Although Chiesa has a bad injury record – since the 21/22 season he has suffered from muscle fatigue on three separate occasions, knee problems on three occasions, hamstring problems on two occasions, an undisclosed injury, tendon irritation, a hamstring injury and a cruciate. a muscle tear, which kept him out for 420 days (transfermarkt) – when he's on his game, he's unplayable.
Arne Slot will be hoping the player can be wrapped in cotton wool so to speak, and freed from the unpredictable nature of Premier League defences.
Even considering the time he still has due to injury, he has managed 77 goals in 324 appearances (transfermarkt), which is more than one return in almost every four games.
