Absent from the group against West Ham, Federico Chiesa continues to experience a very complicated start to the season with Liverpool and Dutch coach Arne Slot was questioned again about the Genoa native: “Federico, I’ve said it many times before, we’re working on two things, we’re working on his match fitness and whenever we can we’re trying to integrate him into the team. He was on the bench during the week and we thought it was better for him to have a few more training sessions rather than join us. It’s a constant balance we have to find between getting him fitter and fitter and letting him join the team.”. Recruited last summer from Juventus, Federico Chiesa’s career has come to a standstill with several physical problems which block any attempt to return to competition on a regular basis, and the winter transfer window could be a lifeline for him. Italian winger.
As we already revealed to you exclusively, Federico Chiesa, on the advice of national coach Luciano Spalletti, is aiming to return to Italy in the form of a loan to relaunch his career this winter. According to our information, Napoli was in pole position on the file to challenge the vast Italian competition, which included interest from Fiorentina and Inter, but the transaction does not appear to be simple. Indeed, Federico Chiesa’s salary set at around 7.5 million euros net per season is a significant factor which hinders the ease of negotiations. For an Italian club to be able to afford Chiesa’s loan, Liverpool will have to cover part of the international’s salary. Since then, water has flowed under the bridge and according to our information, there has been some progress on the issue in recent days.
Contacts established between Antonio Conte and the agent!
According to our indiscretions, Napoli, the most active team on the file since the start, will make a first offer to Liverpool to secure the services of Federico Chiesa, who has only appeared four times in all competitions. confused in the Reds jersey this season. The player’s agent Fali Ramadani had a private meeting with Liverpool bosses last week. The parties agreed to let Federico Chiesa go on loan with the aim of continuing the adventure together when he returns to England next summer. Following this interview with the English management, Federico Chiesa’s agent quickly went to Naples to establish initial contacts with Antonio Conte and Aurelio De Laurentiis. The Italian coach has given his agreement for the arrival of Federico Chiesa at the Partenopei and continues to push internally to advance discussions. All the details of the first upcoming offer have not yet filtered, but according to our information, Napoli will submit, in the coming days, a first 6-month loan offer to Liverpool for Federico Chiesa.
While the winter arrival of the former Juventus player has become a fixed idea in the mind of Antonio Conte who asked his leaders to do everything to lock the deal quickly, the negotiations between Naples and Liverpool will have to find a positive outcome on the following two points: the percentage of salary covered by the Reds and the addition of a purchase option desired by the Partenopei. On this last point, Liverpool are not entirely keen on the idea of permanently selling the 27-year-old player, especially if the latter were to regain good colors on loan to Naples. We will have to convince the Reds so that they agree to include a purchase option in the deal, either by lowering the percentage of salary coverage by the Reds during the loan, or by including a purchase option. purchase greater than the 13 million spent by Liverpool this summer at the end of in order to make a capital gain. In any case, negotiations are open and will continue during the month of January.
