Federico Chiesa appears to be closing in on an Anfield departure after another frustrating season on Merseyside, with reports claiming the Italian international has been advised to find a new club this summer.
A Difficult Spell At Liverpool
The 28-year-old arrived at Anfield with massive expectations but never managed to nail down a regular starting spot. Last season was particularly tough — the former Juventus star accumulated just 318 Premier League minutes throughout the entire campaign.
Despite the lack of consistent opportunities, Chiesa still contributed six goal involvements across all competitions, netting three goals and adding three assists — a reminder of the quality he possesses when given a run of games.
Liverpool Ready To Cash In
Reports now suggest Liverpool have told Chiesa he should seek a new club this summer, with the Reds reportedly willing to accept a fee of just £10-15 million — a figure that could prove an absolute bargain for interested clubs.
A return to Italy has been frequently mentioned as the most likely destination, with several Serie A sides believed to be monitoring his availability closely.
Increasing Competition Closing The Door
Chiesa’s path back into Liverpool’s plans looks increasingly blocked. The Reds have already signed Victor Munoz from Osasuna this summer and continue to pursue additional attacking options including highly-rated youngster Yan Diomande.
With competition intensifying, another season on the bench at Anfield would do little for his career or his Italy ambitions.
Quality Never In Doubt
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has previously described Chiesa as an “amazing” player — proof that his talent has never been the issue. What he needs is a fresh start somewhere he will be trusted with regular football.
At £10-15 million, someone in Europe is about to get a serious bargain. ⚡
