Federico Chiesa’s journey with Liverpool has hit some bumps. After transferring from Juventus this summer for £12.5 million ($16.2m), he has only participated in three matches due to ongoing injuries.
Currently, there are speculations about a potential loan move back to Serie A, with teams like Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Roma showing interest.
Supportive Teammates Despite Injury Challenges
Chiesa’s ongoing injury issues have led to worry, as he will also miss the upcoming game against Arsenal.
Head coach Arne Slot discussed the challenges Chiesa faces adapting to the faster pace of the English game, stating, “Adjusting to a league with a higher intensity than Serie A is tough for him.”
Nevertheless, Chiesa has received encouragement from his Liverpool teammates and family. His wife was spotted supporting the team at Anfield, and goalkeeper Alisson remarked, “Everyone is excited about Federico, and he feels really good about being part of our squad.”
Despite the challenges, there are reports from Italian media (via Calciomercato.it) indicating that Chiesa might be experiencing homesickness and could consider a loan back to Italy, which might aid in his rehabilitation and performance. However, Slot remains optimistic, stating, “He has a long-term contract with us, and we’ll see what he contributes.”
Liverpool supporters are eager for Chiesa to bounce back and make a significant impact, but uncertainty remains about a possible return to Serie A in the near future.
