According to Fabrizio Romano, Chiesa is eager to return to Serie A this summer, and although he 'loves' Liverpool, his limited game time this season has alerted Italian sides about a possible move.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Chiesa was once one of the best wingers in the world, and after signing for just £12.5 million ($17m) from Juventus last summer, it seemed Liverpool had a bargain on their hands. But the 27-year-old has been a big disappointment, and now a move back to Italy seems likely.
DID YOU KNOW?
The winger, who has struggled with injuries this term, played just 104 minutes across the Premier League season(466 across all competitions) and is said to be on wages of £140,000 per week.

WHAT NEXT?
Chiesa, who is said to be keen to get back into Italy's plans for the 2026 World Cup, could be off to Serie A ahead of next season - especially as the Reds may buy attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz this summer.
