Chiesa ‘rejected’ Atletico Madrid, Roma, Napoli and Como to stay at Liverpool | OneFootball

Footmercato reports that Federico Chiesa has turned down approaches from Atletico Madrid, Roma, Napoli, Como and Fiorentina, preferring to stay at Liverpool and fight for minutes.

The pattern has recurred each window, with clubs offering the Italy international regular football. He has repeatedly closed the door, convinced he can eventually make an impact at Anfield. Three of those suitors are in the Champions League this season.

Chiesa joined in 2024 for €12m plus add-ons, a modest fee as his contract was running down and it was the last chance to make a sale. His Liverpool deal runs to June 2028.

He has barely featured, making 50 competitive appearances but starting only nine, contributing five goals and five assists.

He remains convinced he can win over new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola after a difficult spell under Arne Slot.

Chiesa turns 29 in October and his injury record remains a concern, particularly without consistent game time.
