A return to Serie A may be on the cards for Federico Chiesa, with intermediaries offering the 28-year-old Italian international to three clubs.
According to a report by Italian outlet AS Roma Live, intermediaries have offered AS Roma, Atalanta, and Inter Milan the opportunity to sign Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa. The 28-year-old winger may not have a long-term future at the Merseyside club after being omitted from the matchday squad for the Premier League opener against Newcastle United this past weekend.
How has Federico Chiesa fared at Liverpool so far?
Federico Chiesa has experienced a mixed spell since joining Liverpool from Juventus in a deal worth £10 million in August 2024. While the Italian international has produced some bright moments in the last two seasons, he has barely started any matches for the Merseyside outfit, with regular game time eluding him throughout his spell at Anfield.
Chiesa may have felt he could have turned things around at Anfield after scoring the match-winning goal against Bournemouth in Gameweek 1 of the 2025/26 season. However, he could manage only 726 minutes of game time in 36 outings, chipping in with three goals and three assists. Nonetheless, the 28-year-old winger’s stock remains high, and a Serie A return beckons them.
Serie A return on the horizon?
Reports from earlier this year suggested that AS Roma led the race to sign the former Juventus winger. With Stephan El Shaarawy departing as a free agent and Bryan Zaragoza returning to Bayern Munich after the end of his loan spell, Roma lack attacking width and must prioritise a wide attacker in the final days of the transfer window.
Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa has been on Inter Milan’s radar for a long time. With Luis Henrique targeted by AS Roma, Inter Milan require quality attacking depth in the final third. Chiesa represents a realistic option for the Nerazzurri, who need to strengthen their offensive options before the transfer deadline closes.
As for Atalanta, Maurizio Sarri’s squad lacks wide attacking options. Kamaldeen Sulemana is the only wide attacker available, but he is unavailable for the foreseeable future due to a ligament injury. Chiesa offers Atalanta a pressing option in attack to cover the void.

Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Liverpool will not stand in Chiesa’s way, and a summer exit appears likely for the winger. A return to Serie A and familiar surroundings can help him resurrect his fortunes, with his prospects at Anfield appearing limited.
