Liverpool to sell winger Chiesa this summer

Liverpool is planning to let go of Italian winger Federico Chiesa in the upcoming summer transfer window. This decision comes after a disappointing season for Chiesa since his move from Juventus. Since joining Liverpool for €15 million, Chiesa has struggled to find a place in the team's lineup. He has played only 387 minutes in 11 games, scoring two goals. One of these goals was in the FA Cup, and the other came in a loss during the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle. His limited role was evident when he did not play in a recent Champions League match, even as Liverpool used other players. Reports suggest that Chiesa is likely to return to Serie A, especially if he agrees to a pay cut. Napoli is one of the clubs interested in him, with their manager Antonio Conte wanting to sign him. However, Conte's own future with Napoli might affect this potential transfer. Liverpool is also open to the idea of a loan deal for Chiesa, which could make it easier for the two clubs to negotiate his departure. Additionally, Italy's national coach Luciano Spalletti believes returning to Serie A would help Chiesa get more playtime, which is important as he prepares for the 2026 World Cup.
