The future of Federico Chiesa has been uncertain after a difficult first season and the Italy international is attracting interest of a number of teams this summer
Celtic and Fulham consider movements for Liverpool star Federico Chiesa. The duo is interested in the on loan of the Italian international.
Chiesa, 27, was the only summer signing of Liverpool 12 months ago, but was not included in Arne Slot in the preseason plans. The attacker missed the team that traveled to Asia on tour, despite the fact that he played against Stoke and Preston in the first friendly matches of the Merseyside Club of the Summer.
The winner of the Euro 2020 would have had a small problem that was assessed by the medical staff of Liverpool. However, he was involved in training before his teammates left. The former Juventus star struggled to break into the last term of Liverpool after the injury had influenced his start for life in Anfield. And now Chiesa is confronted with more competition after the arrivals of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike in recent weeks.
Nevertheless, there seems to be no shortage of interest in the player's signature. Reports suggest that Celtic and Fulham have followed the situation of Chiesa, while Atalanta and Napoli have both been associated with facilitating a return to Italy.
In the past term, Chiesa only made 14 performances and only played in the Premier League six times. Lock to the Lady in the Liverpool's title -winning campaign for just over 100 minutes.
Speaking in June, the Liverpool -Aas suggested that he would like to stay in the club. “The year is over. But it is an experience that I would do again,” Chiesa told Corriere Dello Sport.
“Soon I will sit down with the club, (my agent) Fali (Ramadani) and my family to find the best solution. I would not mind staying in Liverpool.”
Although I was struggling for playing time, Chiesa was a good reason that he was no longer involved. “If you think I arrived in Liverpool on 26 August and catapulted myself to another planet, with other teammates, without having trained with them, but with a trainer, no friends, nothing,” he added.
“And, if you remember, Liverpool went three times as fast in the fall as the others, an incredible intensity.
“Until the match against PSG, Liverpool was ahead of everyone, in the semi -final of Carabao and among the favorites in the Champions League, who won PSG. Can I start discussing the choices of Slot that has always been very respectful for me, as well as the club?
“(I was against) the balloon d'Or, or one of the candidates for the prize (in Mohamed Salah).” (On the left) there were Luis Diaz and (Cody) Gakpo. Slot also made me play like a nine. It was Max (Allegri) who changed my position and suggested that I moved to a second striker to score more, and I scored my goals.
“The desire to play was there, I put it aside, I understood the situation. I set aside any form of individualism.”
