Chiesa on thin ice at Liverpool: Inter, Atalanta and Lazio circle | OneFootball

Federico Chiesa could be facing his final months as a Liverpool player. The Italian winger has been unable to establish himself since arriving in England, and his situation has become even more complicated under Andoni Iraola’s new project.

An adaptation that never fully happened

Chiesa joined Liverpool in the summer of 2024 with the expectation of regaining the prominence he had enjoyed in Italy, but his spell at Anfield has been marked by a lack of consistency.

The Italian has made 50 official appearances, although he started only nine of them. In the Premier League, he has started just two matches, while in the Champions League he has only one start.

Adding to this lack of prominence was an injury that prevented him from beginning the current season at the same pace as his teammates. So far, he has not played a single minute this campaign.

The situation has also had consequences in Europe: Iraola decided to leave him out of Liverpool’s squad list for the current edition of the Champions League.

Three Italian clubs are keeping a close eye on him

Against this backdrop, his future is once again fueling speculation. According to CalcioMercato.it, three Serie A clubs are monitoring his situation: Inter, Atalanta and Lazio.

For now, there are no concrete negotiations, but all three teams could consider trying to sign him during the winter transfer window.

A return to Italy could represent an opportunity for Chiesa to recover the playing time and prominence he has lost since moving to English football.

Transfer or loan?

Chiesa is still under contract with Liverpool until June 2028, so any departure will depend on the stance the club takes.

The Reds could consider a permanent transfer in January, although there is also the possibility that they opt for a loan move so the player can get regular minutes again and recover his market value.

For now, the Italian’s future remains open, but interest from Serie A could offer him a way out after a difficult spell in England.
