Liverpool have submitted an opening bid for Federico Chiesa that has left fans stunned on social media.
Chiesa has been strongly linked with a move to Liverpool ahead of Friday's transfer deadline.
Juventus are desperate to offload the star winger this summer as he's out of contract in 2025.
The Serie A giants are asking for a reported £12.7 million to sanction his transfer.

But Liverpool's reported opening bid is below Juve's valuation.
According to Mirko Di Natale, the Premier League side have lodged an initial bid of £8.4 million, which could rise to £10 million with add-ons.
The 26-year-old would be in line to earn £5.9 million per season.
Liverpool's offer sent social media wild as people online criticised the 'very low' bid.
One X user wrote: "Transfer fee alone, that's a bargain for Chiesa."
A second said: "Even if Juventus had said €1m, Liverpool would ask them to offer him for free."
A third added: "That's very low man."
Chiesa is also attracting interest from Chelsea, but he has made it clear that he wants to join Liverpool if the clubs can agree a fee.
The Reds have had a quiet summer transfer window, having only signed Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.
The 23-year-old Georgian will join, subject to a work permit and international clearance, for a fee of £25 million plus £4 million in add-ons.
Chiesa could be Arne Slot's second signing of the summer as the deadline looms.
The Italian international made 37 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring 10 goals.
He made a name for himself at Euro 2020 as he helped his national team to glory, which included beating England in the final.
But his development has been hampered by a series of injuries.
