Chiesa’s Liverpool Future in Doubt as Saudi Option and January Interest Loom

Omission from the Champions League squad underscores his slide down Arne Slot’s pecking order.

Overview

  • The 27-year-old winger is unregistered for Europe and has logged only limited Premier League minutes despite scoring on opening day.
  • Saudi Pro League clubs remain a short‑term exit route before their window closes on September 23, according to Keith Wyness’ comments to Football Insider.
  • Transfer analyst Dean Jones says offers are likely in January, with a return to Serie A described as a definite possibility if the right project emerges.
  • Slot praised Chiesa’s attitude after leaving him out of the European list, with teenager Rio Ngumoha preferred as Liverpool’s depth squeezes opportunities.
  • Signed from Juventus in 2024 for about £10m, Chiesa’s impact has been curtailed by a 2022 ACL and competition from new arrivals such as Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.
