It appears to be like more and more probably that Federico Chiesa will go away Liverpool after just one season, however the query as to the place he finally ends up subsequent is much less clearcut.
The Reds signed the Italian ahead from Juventus for an preliminary £10m final August (The Guardian) however, having needed to battle by way of varied health points, he made simply 14 appearances in his first 12 months on Merseyside and was restricted to a single Premier League begin (Switch market).
He was a notable omission from LFC’s pre-season tour to the Far East and, as per Fabrizio Romanohis plan is to depart Anfield in quest of extra common game-time.
The place might Chiesa go if he’s to depart Liverpool?
Based on Italian outlet Switch marketChiesa has now made his switch choice clear if he’s to depart Liverpool, which he’s meaning to do completely moderately than on mortgage.
Regardless of curiosity from the Saudi Professional League and Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, the 27-year-old is about to snub the ex-Manchester United supervisor in favour of a return to Serie A, and extra particularly a membership the place he ‘can return to prominence’ and profit from a ‘top-level wage’.

Atalanta, AS Roma, Napoli and AC Milan have all been linked with the Reds attacker, with the latter two believed to be extra preferable to him given his earlier affiliation with their respective coaches (Antonio Conte and Max Allegri).
If Liverpool are to promote Chiesa, they hope to recoup €15m (£13m) for him, however they may settle for a decrease quantity in the event that they’re eager to dump him earlier than the tip of the summer time switch window.
Laborious to face in Chiesa’s approach, nevertheless it’d be a disgrace to see him go
Even after the tragic dying of Diogo Jota and the approaching sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich, the Italian’s prospects of contending for normal minutes at Anfield appear bleak, with the 27-year-old being disadvantaged of the chance to try to win over Arne Slot on the pre-season tour to Asia.
He’s one in all simply 4 senior attackers within the present squad; and even permitting for the flexibility of Florian Wirtz, Harvey Elliott and Dominik Szoboszlai, together with the potential megabucks acquisition of Alexander Isak, the Reds aren’t enormously stacked for choices within the remaining third (by way of amount).
It mustn’t be forgotten both that Liverpool shall be with out Mo Salah over the festive interval because of the Africa Cup of Nations, with the Egyptian embarking on worldwide obligation at one of many busiest occasions of the English membership season.
From the Reds’ perspective, it’d actually be preferable to carry onto Chiesa and provides him one other season to try to make up for misplaced time. If his coronary heart is about on a return to Serie A, although, it may very well be troublesome for LFC to face in his approach, particularly if his probabilities of common game-time on Merseyside are slim.
If our quantity 14 is to depart, let’s hope it’s for a membership the place he’ll be a frequent starter, and that it’s not one managed by a flamable ex-Man United boss!
