WHAT HAPPENED?
The Italy international has struggled to make an impact at Anfield following his £12.5 million ($17m) switch from Juventus in 2024. Injuries and competition for places led Chiesa to consider his options at the end of last season, with a move away firmly on the cards. But Luis Diaz’s £65.5m ($89m) move to Bayern Munich has led Chiesa to reconsider his future. According to Fabrizio Romano, the winger and his agent have communicated to Liverpool that he wants to stay.
AFPTHE BIGGER PICTURE
It’s not just the departure of Diaz which has helped to change Chiesa’s mind. The goal against Bournemouth, after Liverpool had squandered a two-goal lead, felt like a big moment. The timing of his strike certainly impressed his manager Arne Slot.
WHAT SLOT SAID
Following the 4-2 win over Bournemouth, Slot said: “As long as he’s here, it’s definitely Liverpool and I have no reason to believe something is going to change. He had a hard time last season getting his fitness ready. Unfortunately for him he missed out on our Asian tour as well so he missed quite a lot. When we needed Federico at 2-2, we brought him in and he delivered and that’s always positive for your future at the club." Chiesa has also insisted he is happy at Anfield.
GettyWHAT NEXT FOR CHIESA?
He has the opportunity to become a vital cog in Liverpool’s title retention bid. Potentially from peripheral bit-part player to Kop End icon. Maybe. Staying fit will be top of his list of priorities, as will popping up with vital goals to ensure he remains in Slot’s thoughts… and on the team sheet.
