Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa is reportedly set to be sold in the coming months.
According to Fichajes, manager Arne Slot does not consider Chiesa a key part of his system and is reportedly willing to let the Italian international leave. The report suggests a potential sale could happen either in January or at the end of the season.
However, other reports indicate that Liverpool might prefer to retain Chiesa. With limited options on the flanks, allowing the Italian to depart in January could weaken the squad. Keeping him until the summer transfer window would give the club more time to find a suitable replacement.
Chiesa battled injury issues last season but has since recovered and impressed in his appearances this campaign. The Italian is highly regarded by fans and was recently named Liverpool’s Player of the Month for September. Despite his performances, he has yet to earn the full trust of Slot—a puzzling situation given his versatility and proven quality.
If Liverpool decides to sell, they will need a proper replacement. The club has struggled to fill the void left by Luis Diaz, and finding a capable successor for Chiesa will be crucial. With Mohamed Salah approaching the later stages of his career, investing in wide players may become a priority by season’s end.
At 27, Chiesa is unlikely to lack suitors. Having shown his quality in the Premier League, he would be a valuable addition for any club seeking a proven winger.
