Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club in recent weeks, with Serie A club keen.
Federico Chiesa has struggled for regular game time since joining Liverpool from Juventus in the summer transfer window. He has struggled with fitness issues, and it seems that Liverpool could be willing to send him out on loan.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool will demand a purchase obligation clause to be included in a deal for Chiesa. Serie A clubs are keen on signing the 27-year-old Liverpool misfit, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
Federico Chiesa needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and he might not be able to do that at Liverpool. Players like Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz are ahead of him in the pecking order. The Italian international should look to go out on loan and gain some regular game time so that he can regain his match fitness.
Chiesa needs a fresh start
The move to England has clearly not worked out for Federico Chiesa and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. He was regarded as one of the finest attacking talents in world football when he helped Italy win the European Championship a few years ago. However, his development has stalled because of persistent injury problems. He has never quite managed to fulfil his potential.
The 27-year-old needs to join a club where he will get regular game-time and the backing of the manager. At Liverpool, he is already behind multiple top-class players in the pecking order, and it will be difficult for him to establish himself as a regular starter.
A fresh start would be ideal for Chiesa at this stage of his career. It will be interesting to see if any club is willing to sign the 27-year-old Italian international on loan in the January transfer window with an obligation to buy.
It is evident that Liverpool do not want to be burdened by the player during the summer transfer window as well. They are hoping to get rid of him permanently, and it remains to be seen whether they can succeed amid his links with Serie A clubs.
