Federico Chiesa’s brave choice: he stays at Liverpool and plays it out

Federico Chiesa is experiencing a very complicated moment in his career. After a difficult first season at Liverpool, he seemed destined to leave the Reds this past summer. Instead, in the end, he decided to go nowhere.

Various Serie A clubs have shown interest in Chiesa, notably Roma and Napoli, but the striker chose to stay on Merseyside to play his cards. Besiktas also made an offer, which was promptly rejected by Liverpool, which instructed the management not to sell him. Even in the face of rich proposals from Saudi Arabia, nothing has changed.

The Blue preferred to play his cards in the Premier League and try to convince Arne Slot that he can be useful to this Liverpool that, in the squad, has so many champions. “I am happy here in Liverpool, I am in one of the strongest clubs in the world” said recently the’former of, among others, Fiorentina and Juventus. All this despite his exclusion from the UEFA Champions League list.

The current situation represents a crucial moment for Chiesa, who is also playing for national team call-ups ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Coaching commissioner Gennaro Gattuso is closely monitoring his situation. A star season with the Reds could prove decisive for his future in the Azzurri.
