Liverpool star sends come and get me plea to Euro giants | OneFootball

Liverpool are going to go through another transitional phase this season.

The Anfield outfit may have turned their entire team around last term but, after finishing fifth in the Premier League, it's clear that more change is needed.

Replacing Arne Slot with Andoni Iraola is a good first step for Liverpool to have taken with the Spaniard's attacking style of football exactly what the Reds need.

However, in order for his system to work, he's going to need players suited to his style of play which could result in several members of the Reds' first-team squad getting moved on.

And now, one of Liverpool's players has basically asked a European giant to prise him away from Anfield.

Federico Chiesa admits that he wants to return to Juventus

Federico Chiesa's future has been up in the air ever since he joined Liverpool.

During his first season with the club, he hardly played at all and, even though he had a bit more playing time during his second campaign, it still wasn't enough for a player of his quality.

This led to many rumours emerging about his future with his former club Juventus being heavily linked with a move for the attacker during the January transfer window.

That move obviously never came to fruition and, now that Slot is gone, some people are suggesting that he may finally be given the game time that he deserves.

But, at the moment, it seems like Chiesa has given up his Liverpool dream after what he said to La Gazzetta Dello Sport about his future.

"In the end, things went badly [for Juventus]. I'd like to return to the Bianconeri," he said.

"I would never have left. It was also said that I wanted a lot of money, but the truth is different: I was never offered a renewal. We never even discussed it.

"Giuntoli and Thiago Motta told me: 'Fede, we don't need you: find a team.' I was lucky; I started again with one of the top five in the world, Liverpool.

"But Juventus is always in my heart, and I'd like to return. I've never discussed money with Juve, and I never will."

Liverpool must decide whether they can afford for Federico Chiesa to leave

When called upon, Chiesa has often put in a decent performance.

Of course, there have been times when his outings have been a tad underwhelming but, if he's not being given any sort of regular game time, then how could Slot have expected him to improve?

At the moment, the Reds' attack is one of their weakest areas with forward players being the ones that they're most-linked with.

Yan Diomande and Bradley Barcola have been two players consistently linked with Liverpool but, neither of them are natural replacements for Mohamed Salah.

Chiesa, on the other hand, is an out-and-out right-winger and would be a perfect stop-gap solution for now.

Liverpool wouldn't get all that much money for the Italian if they were to sell him which surely makes the decision to keep him a simple one.

Of course, it all depends on Iraola and whether or not he liked him but, with the change of style that the Spaniard will implement, it feels like the 28-year-old could find a new lease of life at Anfield if he stays put.
