15-Second Brief
Federico Chiesa is close to joining Inter after Liverpool's €120m signing of Bradley Barcola. Cristian Kivu sees the Italian as the perfect wide dribbler.

The signing of winger Bradley Barcola from PSG for €120 million paves the way for Federico Chiesa's exit from Liverpool. Unless unexpected developments arise, the 28-year-old Italian forward is set to become available to Milan's Inter.

Within the Nerazzurri camp, Chiesa is being eyed as the 'fifth forward' — an attacking player whose profile has been personally requested by head coach Cristian Kivu. The Milan manager is eager to exploit Chiesa's explosive pace, one-on-one dribbling skills, ability to make penetrating runs leading to crosses, and his trademark cuts inside onto his stronger right foot for powerful shots on goal.

Another significant factor is the player's nationality; Chiesa's arrival would bolster the Italian core within Inter, where he already enjoys an excellent rapport with many of his national team colleagues.
