The Italian international has found it challenging to display his top level during his tenure at Anfield, leading to increasing speculation about a potential return to Serie A. Chiesa was instrumental during his time at former club Juventus and one could envision him bolstering Napoli’s squad if afforded the opportunity to play more regularly there. The 28-year-old has appeared in just one Premier League game this season for Liverpool, making any incoming offers likely to attract his interest soon.

Conte has made a personal move,” Cammaroto stated, as translated by Sport Witness. “Juventus is highly interested in their former player, but Napoli enjoys a strong rapport with Federico and his father Enrico.” It will be intriguing to see if this results in a transfer, but it’s clear why it would appeal to Chiesa after facing difficulties at Liverpool. Liverpool may risk losing Chiesa Despite LFC clearly not utilizing Chiesa frequently, their current situation isn’t ideal, so they might benefit from retaining him for added squad depth.
