Federico Chiesa’s stint at Liverpool has been underwhelming since his summer move from Juventus. Signed as a backup for Mohamed Salah, the Italian forward has struggled with injuries, making just one Premier League substitute appearance and a single EFL Cup start, where he managed an assist against West Ham. His limited impact has fueled speculation about a January return to Italy.

Chiesa, once hailed for his EURO 2020 heroics with Italy, has not met expectations at Anfield. Reports suggest Inter Milan and Napoli are interested in bringing him back to Serie A. Napoli, in particular, view Chiesa as a potential replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who could leave next summer. A move back to Italy, where the game’s slower pace may suit him, could help Chiesa regain form and overcome his injury struggles, offering a fresh start for the 26-year-old winger.
