Federico Chiesa is enduring another difficult season at Liverpool.
The Italian winger signed for the Reds back in September 2024 - inking a deal to 2028. He cost a fee which could reach £12.5m - with contract standoff at former club Juventus paving the way for a cut-price deal.
Richard Hughes was hoping that Chiesa would get back to his best levels - which saw him become a key figure for Italy during their Euro 2020 tournament victory.
But the truth is we’ve only seen glimpses of the 28-year-old at his best in a Liverpool shirt.
He contributed minimally during the 2024/25 Premier League title win and although he has come into prominence a little more this season he has never made himself a favourite of Arne Slot.
Juventus close to landing Chiesa in January
Accordingly it was reckoned that Liverpool were prepared to do business for the forward in the winter window.
Juventus came closest to attracting Chiesa back to Serie A - with a place in Italy’s FIFA World Cup qualification playoff squad up for grabs.
Butthe clubs could not work out a formula over a deal - with Juve seeking to make it a six-month loan deal and the Reds looking for a permanent move.
Now Virgilio Sport has revealed Liverpool’s demands for Chiesa - stating that the club were seeking a whopping £17m for Chiesa.
