In a stunning turn of events at Liverpool, speculation has emerged around a surprising twist involving Mo Salah and teammate Federico Chiesa. Earlier this season, Chiesa seemed to put his faith in Salah’s departure, only to now find himself on the chopping block.

Salah’s contract negotiations have been a hot topic among fans and analysts alike, especially considering the careers of fellow stars Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are less in question. While Van Dijk's commitment to the club never seemed in doubt, the looming possibility of Alexander-Arnold transferring to Real Madrid has kept everyone on edge.

However, the real saga has revolved around Salah. The Egyptian superstar, who turns 33 this summer, received lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, putting his future at Anfield in doubt. Liverpool’s management has a reputation for being reluctant to dish out big contracts to aging stars, adding another layer of uncertainty.

Chiesa, who joined Liverpool from Juventus at the start of the season, has found himself limited to a mere 30 minutes of Premier League action, despite the team’s strong position in the title race. His only shining moment being a goal in the EFL Cup final, which hardly justifies his stay.

In a rather desperate gamble, Chiesa reportedly decided to stay in hopes of capitalizing on a potential Salah exit that would open doors for more playing time. However, with Salah seemingly committed to the Reds, that door has firmly shut for Chiesa.

As transfer rumors swirl, it appears that Chiesa’s time at Liverpool is drawing to a close. Calciomercato highlights that he could have made a January exit but opted to stick around, betting on an outcome that never materialized.

Liverpool fans are left to wonder what could have been, as they reflect on the missed potential Chiesa could have offered the team. With the summer transfer window approaching, it’s clear: while Salah’s fate remains secure, Chiesa’s departure seems inevitable.

Stay tuned for more updates as the plot thickens at Anfield!
