Federico Chiesa's position at Liverpool hangs in the balance, with whispers of up to three Premier League clubs vying for his signature—and even a potential move back to Serie A on the cards.
The talented winger has struggled to find his footing in English football, hindered by an injury that sidelined him from October to December. With only seven Premier League games left this season and no starts to his name from the 31 matches played, his Liverpool journey has been rocky. Even in the three cup competitions earlier this season, he managed to start just one match.
Chiesa's brief tenure at Anfield could be nearing its conclusion, especially after the Carabao Cup final where he did find the back of the net, proving he still has potential. However, reports from Italy suggest that manager Arne Slot remains unconvinced by him, signaling a likely summer exit, with Napoli being a favored destination.
In a twist worthy of a transfer saga, it has been revealed that three unnamed Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in Chiesa—a development that's caught fans’ attention, especially since no buzz had been surrounding his potential move since joining Liverpool.
The Italian giants, AC Milan, are also keeping an eye on Chiesa, although Napoli's interest seems more connected to the recent January window.
Liverpool has set their price for Chiesa between €25 million and €30 million (£21.7 million to £26.1 million). Given they initially secured him from Juventus for a mere £10 million, selling him for this price would result in a tidy profit.
But does Chiesa want to leave? Upon joining Liverpool, he signed a contract until 2028, anticipating that his prime years would be spent at the club.
There were initial doubts about whether he was meant to replace or complement Mohamed Salah, who is now tied down until 2027. Chiesa has recently shown determination to carve out his place, even declining a move in January to fight for his spot.
His father, former Italy international Enrico Chiesa, reassured fans about Federico's happiness at Liverpool, stating, "He’s very happy at Liverpool. We hope he can win the Premier League; we have no regrets about Juventus." He emphasized the importance of persistence and preparation, asserting that his son will get his chance.
Looking ahead, should he remain at Liverpool, Chiesa must contend with fierce competition in the attack, particularly with Salah's continued presence.
On another note, Liverpool's ambitions to enhance their attacking lineup could see them pursue highly-rated striker Alexander Isak, contingent on Arne Slot’s plans, as well as a potential high-caliber Italian midfielder, amidst competition from Manchester City.
