"It's been a strange start to the season for Chiesa, also because at the very beginning of the summer window, the plan was to leave, and then everything changed several times with Arne Slot and with the management. The desire of Federico Chiesa is to finish the season at Liverpool and then assess the situation in the summer. When Chiesa goes public and says I want to stay here, I want to compete for my spot', it's the reality. Chiesa wants to continue with Liverpool. Then, obviously, he wants to play he needs to play otherwise in January I would not be surprised if Italian clubs return to the table and try again to get Chiesa from Liverpool. They might try. But at the moment, the desire of Liverpool and Chiesa is to continue together. I don't think it's going to be an easy move in January, but interest remains and we have to follow the game time in the next two months."
"Slot favours Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo for his wide positions and even with the club struggling recently, Chiesa found it difficult to get playing time."
Federico Chiesa started the season strongly for Liverpool, often impacting games off the bench yet struggling for consistent minutes under Arne Slot. Chiesa considered leaving during the summer transfer window but chose to stay to prove himself. Slot prefers Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo in wide roles, which has limited Chiesa's opportunities despite managerial acknowledgement of his form and effort. Chiesa wants more playing time and plans to finish the season before reassessing his future. Interest from Italian clubs persists, making a January move a realistic possibility if game time does not improve. Observers will monitor his minutes over the next two months.
