Napoli chief Manna makes contact with agent of Liverpool attacker Chiesa

Chiesa was only sold by Juventus to Liverpool in August, but he has struggled with form and fitness in England.

Calciomercato.com says that a return to Serie A has now been promised for Chiesa.

Napoli chief Giovanni Manna is a fan of Chiesa and wants to bring him back to Italy during next month's winter market.

Manna has held discussions with Fali Ramadani, Chiesa's agent, about the prospect of a loan deal.

Napoli are unwilling to pay the player's full salary, so Liverpool will have to pay part of it if a loan has to be negotiated.
