Federico Chiesa has been linked with a move away from Liverpool, and Napoli are keen on securing his services.
According to a report by French outlet Foot Mercato, Napoli have opened talks regarding a move for Italian international winger Federico Chiesa, and they are set to submit their opening offer for the Liverpool outcast as well.
Federico Chiesa joined Liverpool in a €13 million deal in the summer transfer window. However, the 27-year-old has struggled to fit in at Anfield, and he has struggled to hold down a regular starting spot. He needs to leave to play more often, and Napoli are prepared to provide him with an exit route.
The Serie A outfit are currently pushing for the league title, and they need more quality at their disposal. The Partenopei could use a versatile attacker like him, and Chiesa are will add goals, pace and flair to the side. A return to his comfort zone could be ideal for the Italian international.
It will be interesting to see if Napoli submit an acceptable offer for the player over the next few days. Although Liverpool are reluctant to lose the player, it is fair to assume that they could sanction his departure for the right offer. The player has not been able to live up to the expectations at Liverpool, and they will look to replace him adequately in the coming months.
Chiesa needs a fresh start
Federico Chiesa is at the peak of his powers, and he will want to compete at a high level regularly. Sitting on the bench at Liverpool is unlikely to be an appealing option for him. A return to Italy would be ideal for him at this stage of his career, and he will look to put the Liverpool nightmare behind him and move on quickly.
It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks. The Italian international was regarded as one of the finest attacking prospects in European football a few years ago when he helped Italy win the Euros.
However, his development has stalled because of injury problems, and he has never quite managed to hit top form in recent seasons. It will be interesting to see if a move to Napoli can get the best out of him if the move goes through.
