In a move that has rocked the Anfield faithful, Federico Chiesa is officially set to leave Liverpool, barely months after becoming a fan favorite. The Italian winger, known for his blistering pace, fearless dribbling, and flair on the ball, will not be part of Arne Slot’s long-term plans, according to insiders.
🔄 Where is he going? Chiesa’s next destination has now been revealed as Bayern Munich, who reportedly swooped in with a €62 million package deal — one that Liverpool simply couldn’t refuse given Squad reshuffling priorities and FFP considerations.
📌 Why the shock?
Chiesa had quickly become a cult hero at Anfield.
His partnership with Salah and Núñez showed glimpses of brilliance.
But with Arne Slot looking to build around homegrown talent and dynamic midfielders, Chiesa’s profile didn’t fully align.
🗣️ Liverpool insider:
“Slot was honest with Chiesa. He told him he couldn’t promise a guaranteed starting role, and Chiesa made his decision to leave.”
💬 Chiesa’s message to fans:
“Liverpool will always be in my heart. The Kop gave me unforgettable nights, and I’ll never forget the energy of Anfield.”
🔥 Bayern see him as the long-term successor to Kingsley Coman, and are expected to unveil him next week.
🔴 Liverpool fans are stunned, but with big moves for players like Luis Guilherme and Rafael Leão in the pipeline, the club is clearly evolving.
This exit marks the end of a short yet passionate chapter — and t
he start of a new era.
