Federico Chiesa is expected to make an unexpected move in the January transfer window, with troubling reports surfacing about a Liverpool player behind the scenes.

Federico Chiesa is reportedly set for a surprise move in the January transfer window following a new report highlighting his struggles at Liverpool. Chiesa was Liverpool’s sole signing in Arne Slot’s first window in charge, with the club paying £10 million to Juventus for the Italy international. Many saw the deal as a great acquisition for the club, given the price.

However, Chiesa has only made four appearances for Liverpool, struggling to regain full fitness and match rhythm. His Premier League involvement has been limited to just 18 minutes as a substitute against Bournemouth early in the season. He has also been sidelined for extended periods due to a muscle injury, and after being named on the bench for a match against Leicester, he was left out of the squad for the 5-0 win over West Ham.

There are now reports suggesting Chiesa could return to Italy, with Inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli, Atalanta, and Roma all reportedly interested. While his wages could present a challenge, a loan move might offer a solution. A new report from Anfield Watch sheds light on why Chiesa has struggled at Liverpool. According to the report, Chiesa has become homesick and dislikes the weather, and he has struggled to adjust to the higher intensity of English football. Slot has also acknowledged these difficulties, alongside criticism from Italian media, and it is also claimed that Chiesa’s attitude and mentality have hindered his progress, contributing to his lack of playing time.

Chiesa’s only start came in a 5-1 Carabao Cup win over West Ham, where he played on the right wing, but he struggled in a 45-minute substitute appearance against Southampton. Slot addressed Chiesa’s absence, explaining that the focus is on improving his match fitness, with additional training sessions being prioritized over matchday involve
