Liverpool Decides to Sell Chiesa as Serie A Return Looms

Liverpool Football Club has reportedly made the decision to sell Italian winger Federico Chiesa during the upcoming summer transfer window. The 27-year-old has struggled to make an impact since his €15 million move from Juventus, with limited playing time under manager Arne Slot.

Chiesa has only managed 387 minutes across 11 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring two goals – one in the FA Cup and another in the recent Carabao Cup final loss to Newcastle United. His minimal role was further highlighted in the recent Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, where he remained an unused substitute.

Serie A Return on the Horizon

A return to Serie A appears to be a strong possibility for Chiesa, provided he is willing to accept a salary reduction. Napoli has emerged as a frontrunner for his signature, with manager Antonio Conte reportedly keen on bringing the winger to the club. However, any potential move may depend on Conte’s own future at Napoli.

Liverpool is said to be open to a loan arrangement to facilitate Chiesa’s departure, which could provide more flexibility in negotiations. Additionally, Italy national team coach Luciano Spalletti would welcome Chiesa’s return to Serie A, believing that regular playing time would be crucial for his preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Chiesa’s next move, with a potential return to Italian football looking increasingly likely.
