‘Regrets are alibis for losers’ - Federico Chiesa's father offers transfer update on Liverpool forward amid talk of summer Serie A return

Italy international Chiesa moved to Anfield in a cut-price transfer during the summer of 2024. Injury problems at Juventus led to the Serie A giants cashing in on the Euro 2020 winner. Liverpool hoped to rekindle a lost spark in the talented forward.

Chiesa has, however, made just 11 appearances this season and figured in only three Premier League fixtures – with those substitute outings totalling 25 minutes. Inevitably, questions are being asked of the 27-year-old’s future.

Chiesa's father, ex-Parma and Sampdoria striker Enrico, has told Tuttosport when asked if his son could be on the move again in 2025: “Federico is very happy at Liverpool, he is at a top club that is leading the Premier League and now we hope he can win the title! He is there to have his say, he has a great opportunity.”

Chiesa senior went on to say: “I told him over the summer what I’ve been saying since he was a kid, because the truth is, until the age of 15, he didn’t really play that often. When he’d ask what he should do, I told him to keep training, don’t give up, make sure you are ready when the moment comes.”

He added when asked if Chiesa has questioned his decision to head for England: “Regrets are just the alibis for losers. No, there are no regrets.”

There has been talk of interest from Serie A building in Chiesa, with plenty of clubs reportedly ready to bring him home. He is, however, tied to a contract on Merseyside through to 2028 and remains determined to prove his worth with Premier League heavyweights.
