A player from Liverpool could depart the club this summer due to a lack of support from head coach Arne Slot.
Slot, aged 46, is on the verge of becoming a Premier League champion after guiding his Liverpool team to an almost flawless season in his inaugural year as manager.
Nevertheless, he has shown a preference for several players, including Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Ibrahima Konate, while others like Joe Gomez, Jarell Quansah, and Harvey Elliott have not received as much playing time as they might have anticipated this season.
Italian winger Federico Chiesa has also featured sporadically, starting just three of his twelve appearances since signing from Juventus in the summer of 2024 – although he has registered two goals and two assists.
Last Sunday (April 20), Chiesa, 27, was omitted from Liverpool’s matchday squad ahead of their trip to Leicester City to make way for Trent Alexander-Arnold’s return.And the winger could be set to move on from the club once the summer transfer window opens on June 1.
Italian outlet Calcio Mercato reports that the 27-year-old could return to Italy this summer with three clubs potentially interested in signing him.
The outlet claims that the most “viable” option would be Inter Milan, as current left-winger Joaquin Correa is likely to leave the Serie A club this summer.
Another option may be Napoli, but this could potentially depend on the future of head coach Antonio Conte.
CM also suggest that Roma could be a destination for Chiesa, but this could also depend on several factors, such as qualification for next season’s Europa League with the club currently outside of the European places in seventh place.What has Arne Slot said about Federico Chiesa?
Well, the reason for Chiesa’s lack of playing time is not totally clear but when speaking in March, Slot offered a clue as to why the Italian wasn’t featuring much.
