Federico Chiesa’s Liverpool Future in Doubt Amid Growing Transfer Interest

Federico Chiesa’s time on Merseyside appears to be reaching a crossroads. After a challenging debut season under Arne Slot, the Italian international is now reportedly attracting transfer interest from across Europe — most notably AC Milan and three unnamed Premier League sides.

According to a CaughtOffside exclusive, sources “with a close understanding of the situation” have confirmed that Chiesa has emerged as a summer target for the Rossoneri. It’s also suggested that “a return to Serie A could be an option for Chiesa again this summer as he’s continued to struggle to work his way into Arne Slot’s plans.”

The winger, who joined Liverpool with high expectations following an often electric spell at Juventus, has found himself on the periphery at Anfield. Though he turned down a move to Napoli in January, circumstances appear to have shifted dramatically in recent months.

Transfer Value Set Between €25-30 Million

Liverpool are reportedly prepared to listen to offers in the region of €25–30million/£21.7million for the 27-year-old, a figure that reflects both Chiesa’s pedigree and the sense of underachievement in his first Premier League campaign. While that price could deter some, it might be viewed as a calculated risk by a club willing to revive the player’s fortunes.

As CaughtOffside notes, “it perhaps seems hard to imagine there’ll be too many clubs willing to pay that, so it will be interesting to see if LFC end up backing down a bit after negotiations.”

With just a handful of standout performances and limited minutes in crucial fixtures, Chiesa has failed to displace any of the established front-line names at Liverpool. Slot already boasts attacking talent in Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz, Diogo Jota, and Cody Gakpo, meaning opportunities have been scarce.

AC Milan Lead Continental Interest

AC Milan’s interest signals a potential lifeline in Italy. Chiesa’s familiarity with Serie A, where he made his name at Fiorentina and Juventus, could make a return appealing for both player and club. His previous injury troubles may temper expectations, but Milan, in need of fresh attacking impetus, appear ready to make a calculated gamble.
