Chiesa Poised for January Exit From Liverpool

Overview

• Reporting says talks have resumed between Liverpool and several Italian clubs about moving Federico Chiesa in the January transfer window.
• Inter Milan are reported to be the leading suitor and have held informal discussions with Liverpool to test a possible deal.
• Liverpool are understood to be open to letting Chiesa go for about €15 million and clubs are discussing a short-term loan to June to manage his wages.
• Chiesa has barely played this season, with coverage citing only a few minutes on the pitch, prompting his likely desire to return to Serie A to regain form.
• Chiesa joined Liverpool in 2024 for roughly £12.5 million and is under contract until 2028, and his reported £5 million-a-year pay packet is making permanent moves harder and pushing clubs toward loan solutions.
