Federico Chiesa has reportedly been told by Liverpool that he needs to find a new club before the end of the season due to a lack of regular playing time. The 28-year-old Italian international has struggled to secure consistent opportunities since his arrival at the Premier League side.
According to reports from Football Insider, Chiesa has been informed that his future lies elsewhere. While his next destination is uncertain, speculation has linked him with a potential return to his native Italy. Last season, Chiesa managed just 318 minutes of first-team action in the Premier League. Despite these limited minutes, he still managed to contribute three goals and three assists across all competitions, showcasing his quality.
At 28, the player is at an age where consistent game time is crucial for his career development. He is described as a quality player who deserves more opportunities, with teammate Virgil van Dijk even hailing him as "amazing." A move to a club that can offer him a regular starting role would likely see him thrive.
The asking price for Chiesa is estimated to be in the region of £10-15 million, a fee that appears reasonable for a player of his caliber. The situation is further complicated by Liverpool's other transfer activities, including the signing of Victor Munoz and reported interest in Yan Diomande, which would likely push Chiesa further down the squad pecking order.
Given the circumstances, it would be in Chiesa's best interest to resolve his future swiftly and focus on securing a move that allows him to play week in and week out.
