Igli Tare is expected to be announced as the new sporting director as early as on Monday, and one of the things that he could do is look to increase the Italian core within the squad. From his 15 years at Lazio, he knows how important it is to have a group of players who know the league well.
Without any European football in 2025-26, though, Milan will not have a huge transfer budget to work with. Thus, they might have to be active in seizing opportunities for cut-price deals or with loan formulas, and that could apply to Chiesa.
According to the latest from DAZN journalist Orazio Accomando, Milan ‘will make an attempt to bring Federico Chiesa back to Italy’. This season, the former Juventus player won the Premier League with Liverpool and has made 14 appearances in all competitions and scored two goals.
His lack of playing time has led to strong suggestions that he could leave after just one year. With the 2026 Word Cup on the horizon, it is vital that Chiesa heads somewhere with guaranteed playing time, so he is a central part of Luciano Spalletti’s plans.
