It's been reported the Blues and the Reds are so keen on signing the winger, who plays on loan at Juve from Fiorentina, that they are planning to splash the cash for his services.
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have also inquired about the Italy international, who played a big part in the summer's Euro 2020 triumph.
Bayern like their odds of signing the 23-year-old as he is represented by Lian Sports, the same agency that their star winger Leroy Sane has hired.
However, Chelsea, Liverpool and the Bundesliga giants are facing an uphill road ahead of them as Chiesa would prefer to stay at Juventus, who are preparing to land him on a permanent deal.
Plettenberg : "Update #Chiesa: #FCBayern & #BVB have inquired about him. He is represented by Lian Sports (Sané).
"But for them, #LFC & #CFC (offered €100m) no chance. FC wants to stay at #Juventus.
"Contract until 2025. His salary is said to be around €7m net/year sources told me."
Chiesa impressed during his loan stint at Juventus as he amassed a total of 14 goals and 10 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions last season.
