Chiesa asks Liverpool to let him return to Italy | OneFootball

Italy international Federico Chiesa is reportedly asking Liverpool to let him leave on loan in January to get more playing time, with Milan, Roma and Napoli all interested.

The winger made the transfer to Anfield in the summer for just €12m with his contract at Juventus running down.

Among the main reasons why the Bianconeri were not prepared to offer him a new deal was his terrible injury record and that has continued in England.

The 27-year-old has made only four competitive appearances in the Liverpool jersey for a grand total of 123 minutes on the pitch.

With that in mind, Mirror Sport confirms the Premier League leaders are open to letting Chiesa leave on loan in January so he can get more playing time.

The big problem is that nobody in Italy is prepared to pay even half the €7.5m per season wages, so Liverpool would need to help out sharing the load.

Napoli, Milan and Roma are the most interested in giving Chiesa some playing time this season.
