Federico Chiesa’s future at Liverpool has become increasingly uncertain due to limited playing time and injury setbacks. Following his summer 2024 move from Juventus, the Italian forward has struggled to establish himself in the squad.

Recent developments indicate that Chiesa was omitted from Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League squad for the league phase, a situation influenced by the club’s signing of Bradley Barcola. While Chiesa’s father has expressed a desire for the player to remain on Merseyside, reports suggest that Chiesa may seek a return to Serie A during the January transfer window to secure regular first-team football. Journalist Emanuele Cammaroto noted that Chiesa’s entourage might propose him to several Italian clubs, specifically mentioning SSC Napoli, as a means to revitalize his career.
