Courted by several Italian clubs last winter and at the start of the summer transfer window, the Italian winger, dismissed from the summer internship, finally carried out an individual preparation with the Reds, gradually grappling minutes until decisive from the start of the season. His start on the first day of the Premier League last weekend validated this choice. In an Anfield in fusion, while Bournemouth had just overthrew after being led, Federico Chiesa signed a decisive volley to put the Reds in front, before exulting by proudly pointing the club's badge. A celebration that sounded like a clear message. Despite the requests, he is ready to win in Liverpool and weigh in the starting season. A performance that Arne Slot had not failed to underline at a press conference after the victory against Bournemouth:

“”As long as he is there, he is definitely in Liverpool and I have no reason to believe that something will change. Last season, he had a hard time preparing for the match. Unfortunately for him, he missed our tour in Asia too, so you miss a lot. Federico, when we needed him, I brought him. At 2-2, you need your number 9, we have recruited it and he kept his promises and it is always positive for your future at the club. The only thing I can find is that Federico had a great story, he played an important role by deciding to leave Italy for England. We do not often see Italian players coming to England». And for a few days, Federico Chiesa has been at the heart of all internal discussions between the leaders of the Reds. According to our information, a meeting took place this week between Federico Chiesa and the management of Liverpool in order to clarify the situation of the Italian international.

The two parties displayed a common desire to continue the adventure together, even if no firm promise has been formulated: in the event of an exceptional last minute offer, the Reds reserve the possibility of reassessing the situation in the final transfer of the transfer window. However, Liverpool does not intend to push his player towards the exit and puts on his contribution within the group.
