AC Milan have been offered the chance to sign Federico Chiesa from Liverpool, but there is an obstacle and other teams are in the race.
Milan have already signed one forward in the winter window as Niclas Füllkrug arrived from West Ham United on loan with an option to buy. Amid the talk that Christopher Nkunku is a serious target for Fenerbahce, there might yet be the need to sign another.
Chiesa offered around Italy
Journalist Enzo Bucchioni spoke in his weekly editorial for TMW and he spoke about the future of Chiesa, who is not a starter for Liverpool. Napoli are among the contenders to sign him, with Lorenzo Lucca and Noa Lang both sale candidates, and Chiesa could replace them.
Antonio Conte has given the green light to the idea of working with the former Juventus man, while the player wants to return to playing more regularly for the national team, hoping for an appearance at the World Cup.
He has also been offered to Juventus, Milan and Roma. However, his €7.5m net per season salary is an obstacle for all of the teams mentioned. Liverpool have not yet opened up to letting him go either, because of their own doubts about the attack moving forward, especially concerning Mo Salah.
Chiesa admitted a couple of months ago that he enjoyed watching Milan while he was growing up, and that Kaka was one of his idols.
we should get him, finally some more Italian mentality on the field. Forza Milan.
I see him doing very well as second forward. Can do great things with Pulisic or Leao
Other than having to pay a large salary to Chiesa, I see no downside to this move. I’m glad that Nkunku seems to be finding his way out of the desert, but Chiesa would be a huge upgrade. Not to mention, that it would keep Chiesa away from Napoli or Inter.
If this is fact and not journalistic mumbo jumbo, please pull the trigger on this move!
It’ll only be realistic if we sell Nkunku. Then Nkunku out, Chiesa in seems a good deal, similar forwards who can drift wide or central but not comfortable as no.9
Chiesa knows serie A well and if hes OK not being a starter, would be a great backup for Leao/Pulisic who cant seem to consistently stay fit.
I’ll always say yes to Chiesa.
