Federico Chiesa 'loves' Liverpool - but he still wants out! Reds outcast to demand return to Italy after flopping in Premier League

<p>According to <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1931261665053393043" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>, Chiesa is eager to return to Serie A this summer, and although he 'loves' Liverpool, his limited game time this season has alerted Italian sides about a possible move.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Chiesa was once one of the best wingers in the world, and after signing for just £12.5 million ($17m) from Juventus last summer, it seemed Liverpool had a bargain on their hands. But the 27-year-old has been a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/most-disappointing-signings-2024-25-european-season-ranked/blt89126275ed63ab50" target="_blank">big disappointment,</a> and now a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/federico-chiesa-issues-come-and-get-me-plea-to-juventus-liverpool-outcast-targets-return-italy-squad-2026-world-cup/blte44ca4e0fe03ef0a" target="_blank">move back to Italy seems likely</a>.</p>

The winger, who has struggled with injuries this term, played just 104 minutes across the Premier League season<strong>&nbsp;</strong>(466 across all competitions) and is said to be on wages of £140,000 per week.

<p>Chiesa, who is said to be keen to get back into Italy's plans for the 2026 World Cup, could be off to Serie A ahead of next season - especially as the Reds may buy <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-brink-florian-wirtz-record-breaking-transfer-fresh-offer-bayer-leverkusen-eur150m/blt6da1e4af04b0b96a" target="_blank">attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz</a> this summer.</p>
