Napoli transfer news: Chiesa linked with Italy return, two clubs keen | OneFootball

Can Federico Chiesa really return to Italy? The question has been circulating for days and is not unfounded. His recent performances have reignited the spotlight on a player who today appears brighter, more complete, and more consistent than a year ago. Yet, in Arne Slot's Liverpool, space remains limited. The latest snapshot is harsh: a full ninety minutes on the bench in the 3-3 draw against Leeds, a result that further complicated the Reds' pursuit of the top. Meanwhile, the first moves have started from Italy. As reported by TMW, Roma and Napoli have conducted exploratory inquiries, assessing the possibility of at least setting up a deal. For the Giallorossi, Chiesa would be the ideal profile for the left wing: a winger capable of cutting inside on the right, perfectly fitting into Gasperini's offensive setup, who has been looking for a player with these characteristics for weeks. The Neapolitans, on the other hand, have a narrower margin for intervention but do not rule out an operation if it would help to extend a bench currently considered too short. In the background remains the heaviest uncertainty: the future of Mohamed Salah. His latest statements, cryptic and not exactly reassuring, have triggered more than one alert about his stay at Anfield. Meanwhile, Arne Slot commented precisely on Chiesa's position. The Dutch coach reiterated a simple but revealing concept: “Every player can start, but we have many options in his role. He has often had an impact from the bench: normally you bring on a forward to score, but he keeps running when others would stop thinking they can't make a difference in one-on-one situations. This says a lot about his mentality, his refusal to give up.” Behind the words, a clear truth: Chiesa is appreciated but not indispensable. And when such a talent is not at the center of the project, the market senses the opportunity. Italy observes, probes, waits for the right opening. And for the first time in years, the idea of seeing Chiesa back in Serie A no longer seems like a fantasy exercise.
