Federico Chiesa’s time at Liverpool looks set to be short and sweet — well, mostly short.
After a quiet season at Anfield, the Italian forward is now pushing for a move back to his home country.
While Liverpool fans hoped he’d become a key figure on the wing, it seems the Premier League didn’t quite bring out the best in him.
Federico Chiesa made just six appearances in the league last season and featured 14 times overall. That’s not exactly what he or the Reds had in mind when he arrived from Juventus last summer.
With competition from names like Salah, Nunez, and Gakpo, breaking into Liverpool’s front line was always going to be tough — even tougher than cracking a Serie A backline.
Now, the 27-year-old wants more minutes and a bigger role. And Italy could be calling again.

Where can Federico Chiesa go next?
According to trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano, Napoli have made contact about Chiesa. Romano shared on his YouTube channel:
“Federico Chiesa’s desire remains to leave Liverpool and play on regular basis next season, despite his excellent relationship with everyone at the club. Priority remains Italy return for Chiesa as Napoli made contact to be informed.”\

Napoli, who recently brought in Kevin De Bruyne, are looking to add fresh firepower on the wings. With Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leaving last summer, Chiesa could step right in — and maybe even bring his Azzurri flair to Naples.
Chiesa has also kept the door slightly open for a return to Juventus. He told reporters: “Juventus? I still love the club. Returning there one day? Why not. Thiago Motta didn’t want me there. He told me that I was not part of his plans.”
With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Chiesa knows he needs regular football. A bench role at Liverpool simply won’t cut it.
