London: So, it looks like Federico Chiesa might be on the move again. Reports say he could leave Liverpool on loan this month, with five Serie A clubs interested. Crazy, right?
Since joining Liverpool last summer, things haven’t really clicked for him. He’s only played four times, mostly due to injuries. And even when he’s fit, the coach, Arne Slot, hasn’t been too keen on giving him a chance.
He’s missed the last two matchday squads and has only started once this season. That’s got people talking in Italy about a possible January exit. Calciomercato mentioned that this transfer window could be a big opportunity for him.
Chiesa wants to leave, but his hefty salary of €7.5m might complicate things. A loan seems the most likely route, but Liverpool would need to help cover his wages.
Inter, Milan, and Roma are all keen on him, and Napoli and Atalanta might be in the mix too. Atalanta could even consider a loan-to-buy deal. Napoli’s coach, Antonio Conte, is on board with bringing him in.
Ultimately, it all hinges on Liverpool’s willingness to negotiate. It’s surprising to think he might leave so soon after arriving from Juventus for $16.4m. Let’s see how this unfolds!
