Liverpool fans have taken Federico Chiesa to their hearts during his spell with the club.
Signed from Juventus for a fee that could reach £12.5m including add-ons back in September 2024 - the Italian is admired for his endeavour and work rate.
The 28-year-old has found it tough to break into Arne Slot’s reckoning however - starting only one match in the Premier League this season.
Premier League champions Liverpool have taken to using Chiesa as a “false 9” at times - suggesting that Slot does not really rate him in his best position at right wing.
Chiesa deal possible at £9m
Accordingly it has been reported that several Serie A sides - including Roma and Napoli are interesting in bringing Chiesa home this winter.
Under contract until 2028 - and earning a reported £140k per week - this is not an easy deal for Italian clubs to do but the next couple of weeks could bring a major breakthrough.
Torino Cronaca is now reporting that Liverpool are prepared to accept around £9m for Chiesa - making their money back on the original investment.
The leading contenders to sign the winger are Juventus - and Chiesa would have no trouble adapting considering his previous spell at the club and time under their current head coach Luciano Spalletti in the Italian national team.
