Napoli are reportedly interested in signing 27-year-old Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Napoli are leading the race to sign 27-year-old Liverpool attacker Federico Chiesa. Fortunately for the Partenopei, the player is open to joining the Serie A giants.
The Italian international has struggled since joining Liverpool from Juventus, and he has not been able to hold down a regular starting spot at the Merseyside club. A return to Italy could be ideal for him. Playing in his comfort zone could bring out the best in him once again, and Napoli could provide him with more game time.
Napoli need more quality in the wide areas after the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Chiesa could be an important player for them. He was regarded as one of the best players in Italy a few years ago, and regular football could bring out the best in him. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career, and he could play his best football for Napoli if he manages to regain his form and confidence.
Chiesa could be a useful addition
Chiesa has shown his quality in glimpses at Liverpool, and a sustained run in the starting lineup could help him rediscover his top form. It remains to be seen whether Napoli can secure an agreement with Liverpool in the coming weeks if they further their interest in him.
Liverpool paid a nominal amount of money for him when they signed the player, and they are unlikely to demand a premium for him. He could be available for a reasonable amount of money in the summer, and this is a golden opportunity for Napoli to snap him up.
The 27-year-old Italian international could look like a major bargain in the long run if he manages to get back to his best. Chiesa knows Italian football well, and he will be expected to hit the ground running.
Napoli are one of the biggest clubs in Serie A, and the opportunity to join them will be quite exciting for most players. It is no surprise that the 27-year-old is open to the move. Liverpool should look to sell him and bring in a quality replacement who will help them going forward.
