Liverpool open talks with AC Milan over winger | OneFootball

Chiesa linked with quick return to Italy

Transfer talk is also increasing around Luis Diaz, with Barcelona’s attempts to talk to the Reds rejected but a sale not ruled out.

And Federico Chiesa could be set for a quick return to Serie A. The Italian, 27, only arrived at Anfield in September but has scarcely made an impact.

Although he scored a goal in the EFL Cup final, he made only six Premier League appearances - for a total of just over 100 top-flight minutes. It was speculated that the Italy international would be let go back in January with several Serie A clubs interested.

He stayed put and his contract - which extends to 2028 - is reportedly too rich for the majority of interested sides.

AC Milan in talks over Chiesa

But it looks like AC Milan are back at the table.

According to a new report in Italy, the Rossoneri have opened talks with Liverpool over a loan deal for Chiesa. The Euro 2020 winner is said to be interested in the move but one complicating factor is Liverpool’s reluctance to discuss a loan bid.

Chiesa is available this summer but it looks like the club are only interested in a permanent deal for a winger they signed for £12.5m last summer.
