Liverpool transfer news: Serie A giant wants to bring Chiesa back to Italy
Juventus made it clear to Federico Chiesa what his future would be. Thiago Motta did not want him, and the hierarchy backed the manager's view. Chiesa therefore left for Liverpool for a pittance. However, Juventus are now reportedly working on bringing Chiesa back. Luciano Spalletti has a different opinion of him.
Federico Chiesa has been considered a huge talent from the very start of his career. He had a lot to live up to. His father Enrico has a World Cup silver medal and was long one of the top scorers in Serie A. Federico presents himself a little differently, but his career also looked fantastic.
He became a star at Fiorentina, then moved to Juventus. It was a two-year loan with a mandatory option. While Chiesa was on loan, everything was running smoothly. After that, things went downhill, partly due to his fitness. The arguably best player of Italy's golden Euro suddenly became an expensive player without form, often injured.
Slot's super sub or outcast?
When Thiago Motta arrived, he immediately threw Chiesa overboard. Juventus therefore put him up for sale for essentially peanuts. Federico Chiesa thus left for Liverpool. He won the Premier League with them last year.
However, Arne Slot never quite became his biggest fan. He played very little, and this year no significant improvement has come. Yet in matches when he came off the bench, he often proved to be an excellent super sub.
The number of minutes the Italian needs per goal or assist is minimal. The fans have also taken to him. But Arne Slot still has not, even with Salah's absence and Gakpo's illness. So once again, a departure is being discussed.
Chiesa back at Juventus?
After just six months at Anfield, there was already speculation about a return to Italy, and it was no different in the summer. However, after the match against Bournemouth, which Chiesa decided in stoppage time, it was decided he would stay.
Currently, he is at a crossroads again. Juventus, the very club that threw him overboard a year and a half ago, are now offering him a return. But a lot has changed there. The main difference is the manager.
Currently, it is Luciano Spalletti. When Chiesa left, Juventus signed significant attacking reinforcements. But they did not work out, and neither did the latest ones. Chiesa is experienced, he is an excellent player, Juventus was his home, and unfortunately nothing good awaits him at Liverpool. Liverpool are willing to let Chiesa go – it is entirely up to him.
