It has been a frustrating season for the Italian who arrived with high expectations but never truly settled.
Injuries, competition for places, and a lack of trust from the manager have left him on the sidelines for most of the campaign.
Despite his talent, he has barely featured, and when he has, it has been in limited minutes.
His numbers tell the story.
Just eleven appearances across all competitions, totaling 387 minutes.
Two goals – one in the FA Cup and another in the Carabao Cup final, though it did not change the result.
When Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League against PSG, the manager made it clear where the player stood.
He didn’t even get a minute on the pitch, with Arne Slot preferring a half-fit Cody Gakpo instead.
Now, his time at Anfield is reportedly coming to an end.
The club spent €15 million, bonuses included, to bring him in, but the gamble has not paid off.
Next summer, a move away is certain, and a return to Serie A is the most likely option.
The only question is where.
Federico Chiesa open to joining Serie A giants
According to Calciomercato, that destination could be Napoli.
Chiesa is a player that Antonio Conte admires, and if he stays at Napoli, he could push to sign him.
The player is “open to Napoli without problems”, and with sporting director Giovanni Manna knowing him well from their time at Juventus, a move makes sense.
For Luciano Spalletti, this could be good news as well. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, he wants Chiesa playing regularly.
The “doors of the Azzurri are always open for Fede”, but that will require him to be an important player at his next club.
Liverpool, meanwhile, will consider whether to sell him outright or send him on loan.
Either way, Chiesa’s short-lived Anfield career could be coming to an end.
