Federico Chiesa’s stint at Liverpool has been far from smooth sailing, with the Italian forward struggling to adapt to the intensity of the Premier League. The 27-year-old, who joined the Reds from Juventus, has seen limited action under manager Arne Slot, making just three appearances totaling a mere 78 minutes and providing one assist.
Recent reports from Calciomercato suggest that Napoli is keeping a close eye on Chiesa’s situation, potentially offering him a route back to Serie A. The Italian club are considering making a move for the former Juventus and Fiorentina star, particularly with an eye on the upcoming season. This interest comes amid Napoli’s ongoing difficulties in securing a contract renewal with their current star, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Chiesa’s challenges in England were acknowledged by Liverpool manager Arne Slot a month ago when he stated, “He’s arrived in a league that operates at a different intensity.” This comment underscores the significant adjustment required for players transitioning to the Premier League from other European leagues.
The potential move to Napoli could provide Chiesa with an opportunity to revitalize his career in a familiar setting. As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool might be open to parting ways with their summer signing, and if Napoli can present an attractive offer to bring the talented Italian back to his homeland.
