Inter Milan transfer ‘on the table’ for Liverpool and Italy striker Federico Chiesa

Inter Milan transfer ‘on the table’ for Liverpool and Italy striker Federico Chiesa

When Liverpool signed Federico Chiesa in the summer transfer market from Juventus, most fans were very happy and agreed that it was smart business on the Reds’ part, especially considering that it only cost 12 million euros.

Although there were many rumors surrounding the Euro Cup winner, he has not taken off at Anfield as most people expected.

The Italian has played three games under Arne Slot and only started once, which was a Carabao Cup match against West Ham United.

Because he didn’t play as much as people expected, questions have already been raised about whether it was the right move for Chiesa.

However, in a recent press conference, Slot explained the reason for the lack of minutes when it comes to the Italian international.

“He missed an entire preseason, I’ve said it many times, and he’s going to a league where the intensity could be even higher than the Italian league.” Slot, stated in his press conference prior to the match against RB Leipzig, via GOAL.

“So that makes it difficult for him to step up to the intensity levels that the rest of the team is at right now.”

Despite these reassuring comments from the Liverpool coach, Italian media InterLive has stated that “if things don’t change”, in regards to Chiesa’s current experience on Merseyside, “a return to Italy would be the first option on the table”.

The report also claims that the Nerazzurri were one of the clubs interested in signing the Italian on a free transfer before he joined Liverpool for €13 million.

As Slot said, the Premier League is a different animal compared to Serie A. The Reds are also in a very privileged position in the sense that we don’t have to put pressure on Chiesa, we can give him time to integrate into the team and learn. the system.

Similar things were said about Ryan Gravenberch last season as well and look how that turned out.
