Under manager Arne Slot, Liverpool has undergone an unexpected transformation. The team is currently atop the league, with the Dutch coach maximizing the potential of his squad and positioning them as serious contenders for the Premier League title, challenging Manchester City and Arsenal.
Slot has revitalized the careers of players such as Ryan Gravenberch, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo, boosting their confidence and providing the tactical guidance that has enhanced their performances.
However, despite the team’s overall success this season, one player has struggled significantly. Federico Chiesa, the summer signing from Juventus, has failed to make an impact at Liverpool and could be heading out of the club as soon as January.
According to Tuttosport, Inter Milan is pushing to secure the Italian winger on a six-month loan deal, offering him a potential escape from Anfield. Chiesa has battled injuries since arriving and has struggled to adjust to the demands of Premier League football, which could lead to his departure in the winter transfer window.
Having featured in just one Premier League match this season, Chiesa’s lack of playing time has become a growing concern for the club. Last season, he impressed for Juventus, making 33 Serie A appearances and scoring nine goals.
With Federico Chiesa having played only 78 minutes of football since his arrival at Liverpool, it wouldn’t be surprising if the club allowed him to leave soon.
Players like Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Cody Gakpo are all ahead of him in the pecking order, making it increasingly difficult for Chiesa to secure regular playing time.
Inter Milan are reportedly keen to offer Chiesa an escape route from Liverpool. After suffering a cruciate ligament injury in 2022, his career has not progressed as expected, and a move to Inter could provide him with the opportunity to revive his form, which has stalled at Liverpool under manager Arne Slot.
Slot has suggested that Chiesa struggled due to not having a proper pre-season, which could explain his difficulties adapting.
With Liverpool’s current depth in attacking options, it seems likely that they may allow Chiesa to leave and acknowledge that the signing has not panned out as hoped.
Another player potentially on his way out of Anfield is goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who has been advised to seek a move for better opportunities.
