Federico Chiesa could well leave Liverpool before the start of next season, and AC Milan are apparently keen on signing him.
As Calciomercato.com report, Chiesa will receive a Premier League winners’ medal as he reached the appearances required during the defeat to Chelsea on Sunday. Prior to that, he had managed just four appearances and 18 minutes in the league.
Those numbers show that Arne Slot has not found anything close to a central role for the forward, who cost Liverpool €12m last summer. The decline therefore continues for the 27-year-old, who many presumed to be the Azzurri’s best player in recent years.
Chiesa has paid the price for competing with many top players for a spot in the team, as well as a ‘relationship that never fully blossomed with Arne Slot’. This is why there is an air of separation, and in the next few days Fali Ramadani will be in Liverpool to take stock of the situation.
A return to Italy?
Chiesa is torn. On the one hand, in perfect line with his ambitious character, he would like to redeem this very disappointing season with Liverpool but on the other hand there is a strong desire to return to being a protagonist in a project tailor-made for him.
The former Juventus man, at 27 years old, is in the prime of his career and every year lost weighs twice as much. The most plausible scenario is that of a return to Italy, where there are two teams above all that like him.
Napoli are ready to welcome him with open arms, while Geoffrey Moncada would like to bring him to Milan. Two ambitious clubs to relaunch one of the best Italian players might just be enough to tempt him.
Injury prone, but I guess he is a better backup than Chuck
Definitely, if we sell Chuk for 12m€ and buy Chiesa for 15m€ , for us it’s great deal. He knows Seria A well and he could be great backup player for Pulisic for few €… PL is not for everyone and comings back to Italy can be same like when Pulisic come.
You want to make player like chiesa that get 7m euro nett just for back up? The reason why they want to sell chuk because his salary 4m euro nett are too heavy for just becoming back up. Most likely ACM will go cheaper option like orsolini for back up
Yes Orsolini maybe will have 2m€ but he will cost us 40m€ … and if we buy Chiesa for 12m and he will earn 5m , it’s still better for us.
Orsolini is to expensive for backup too
If he clicks at RW we could actually move Pulisic to Center to accomodate him. Has to track back tho
People are judging him harshly.
He went to Liverpool to be a backup for Salah, he wasn’t going to play every day
,,wasn’t going to play every day”
dude played 41 minutes whole season.
overrated cause italian running clown without any football iq.
he lost his speed with his injury and became a useless player
I’d rather have Orsolini but if they can get him for a bargain price or even loan, ok.
Chiesa certainly has the ability if he can find form/fitness.
I’d be in favor of a loan with option to buy.
The fact he can play both wings is very useful.
Chucky needs to leave. I cant see us keeping felix or sottil. Okafor is a bit up in the air, but if he leaves we will need 2 wingers, so getting Chiesa on loan would be helpful.
Can see the redturds clawing back money from sales and not spending, so freebies will be the order of the day
He could be a brilliant supplement to Leao/Pulisic.
2021 Chiesa could easily be in our starting XI.
Bring him on.
loan w/ 15m OtB after we sell Chuck,
i prefer Orsolini
Nope. Not even as a free transfer. Pick Orsolini or even Berardi over him. Chiesa would do worse than Chuk.
chuk is terrible chiesa would do a better job
