Federico Chiesa is set for showdown talks with Arne Slot about his Liverpool future amid links with a return to Italy.
According to Calcio Mercato, Federico Chiesa wants to clarify his place in this Liverpool squad and is set for showdown talks with Arne Slot. The winger has barely featured since his arrival in the summer, but there are strong links with a return to Serie A, where a host of clubs are keen.
Federico Chiesa had plenty of interest from Serie A clubs as Juventus made it abundantly clear he does not feature in the immediate plans of the new manager, Thiago Motta. The Bianconeri agreed to sell him to Liverpool for around €12 million, and at the time, it was considered a big coup for the Reds.
Incidentally, Chiesa was Liverpool’s only summer signing in the transfer market as Arne Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp. While there’s intense competition for places in the wide areas, Chiesa has not received enough playing time so far this season.
The Italian winger has played 78 minutes in all competitions, featuring a game each in three competitions. Some doubts are cast on his adaptability to the Premier League, with the Italian media already labelling him a flop in England.
Rumours indicate that Chiesa might be open to a return to Serie A, so the winger is set to hold showdown talks with manager Arne Slot regarding his place in the squad. While he is generally ready to fight for his place, a lack of game time between now and January would accelerate talks of a move back to Italy, where he has plenty of interest.
Will Chiesa return to Serie A?
The big problem with a return to Serie A, especially on a permanent deal, is the attacker’s massive salary at Liverpool, which will be a problem for the Italian side. Nevertheless, a loan move would be a possibility, with AC Milan linked with the Italian international.
Newcomers Como are also interested in taking him on a temporary deal should he become available in the January window. While there are doubts about whether Chiesa would like to join the Italian minnows, he might consider other big clubs, like Milan or even Napoli, as something to think about ahead of his reported showdown talks with Arne Slot.
