Federico Chiesa, Liverpool’s latest signing, could soon return to Italy after struggling to adjust to English football.
The Italian media lauded the Italian international as a terrific signing after joining from Juventus at a reduced fee. After winning the Euros with Italy and being one of the Old Lady’s standout players in recent seasons, the move was viewed as a big coup for the Reds.
But Chiesa has only appeared once in the Premier League as he competes for a position in Arne Slot’s plans. He could be about to depart the club.

With Chiesa having only played 78 minutes in a red shirt thus far, Arne Slot was asked about the star, stating that the lack of football was “frustrating” for the player.
“It’s difficult to say when he will return, it’s frustrating for him to be in and out of training sessions,” the man from Holland claimed. “He missed the entire pre-season and then [joined] a league with a higher level of intensity than Serie A. We continue to expect that he will be able to make a meaningful impact once he is fit.”
Calciomercato suggests that a loan transfer away from Anfield could be the solution, with three Italian clubs keen.
Inter Milan, Milan, and Roma are among those rumored to be interested in taking a “calculated” chance on the 26-year-old. Injuries have definitely taken their toll on the player, who requires consistent game time to build up steam.
The season is still young and like Arsenal’s Raheem Sterling, Chiesa is essentially a sixth-choice attacker right now.
