According to Sportitalia, Atalanta is prepared to offer €12 million for Italian international Federico Chiesa, with Liverpool potentially covering a significant portion of his wages to facilitate the move.
The former Juventus and Fiorentina winger has struggled to find his place at Anfield, having been excluded from their pre-season training camp. Chiesa`s time at Liverpool has been limited, with only 14 appearances, two goals, and two assists in a mere 466 minutes of playing time.
Liverpool Keen to Offload Chiesa
Chiesa, who joined Liverpool just a year ago from Juventus for €12 million, may now be allowed to depart for the same amount, marking a return to Serie A with Atalanta. Sportitalia reports that a three-year contract with Atalanta is possible, with Liverpool potentially subsidizing a substantial part of his salary to smooth the transition.
For Atalanta, Chiesa could serve as a replacement for Ademola Lookman, who is reportedly pushing for a €50 million transfer to Inter this summer. Other Serie A clubs, including Napoli and Milan, have also expressed interest in Chiesa.
This potential move represents an opportunity for Chiesa to revitalize his career in familiar territory, while allowing Liverpool to offload a player who has not met expectations during his brief tenure with the club.
