Federico Chiesa linked with Serie A return amid lack of minutes at Liverpool

Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa could make a sensational return to Serie A after struggling to secure consistent game time this season, per Foot Mercato.

Chiesa, who joined Liverpool from Juventus in a €12 million deal last summer, has failed to start any Premier League game this term.

His arrival at Anfield was met with great excitement, as the dynamic forward was expected to add versatility and spark to Liverpool’s attack.

However, injuries and stiff competition for places have limited his opportunities, and despite showing the odd flash of brilliance, Chiesa has been limited to cameo roles off the bench.

The player is reportedly unhappy with how his time at Anfield has gone and is considering his options. A move back to Italy is the most probable outcome.

Serie A title contenders Inter Milan and Napoli are particularly interested in the winger as they seek to overhaul Atalanta at the top of the standings.

Fiorentina are exploring the possibility of reuniting with Chiesa, who produced several moments of magic for them before his Juventus switch.

It is unclear if Liverpool will be open to letting Chiesa go in January, as they are in contention for four trophies thanks to a fantastic start to the season.

Returning to Serie A could help Chiesa regain confidence, play regular football and get his career on track.

While Liverpool fans will hope to see him fulfil his potential at Anfield, a return to Serie A could be on the cards if his frustrations persist.
