The latest Liverpool transfer news - Liverpool may allow Federico Chiesa to leave on loan during the January transfer window with interest from Atalanta.
Liverpool may allow Federico Chiesa to leave on loan during the January transfer window. Chiesa joined Liverpool earlier this year for £12.5 million. Many believed his signing was a significant achievement for the club.
Unfortunately, the Italian forward has struggled to make an impact. Injuries have limited his appearances under manager Arne Slot. He has played only 123 minutes across all competitions this season. Most of those minutes came in the EFL Cup, with just one start.
Liverpool transfer news - Liverpool may allow Federico Chiesa to leave for Atalanta
The latest Liverpool transfer news from Tutto Atalanta suggest Atalanta BC are interested in bringing Chiesa back to Serie A. Atalanta are enjoying a strong season, leading the Serie A table with 13 wins in 17 matches.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s team has one of the best attacking records in the league. Players like Ademola Lookman, Charles De Ketelaere, and Mateo Retegui have scored 26 goals combined. However, the club is considering extra reinforcements to maintain their title and Champions League campaigns.
Chiesa’s current condition may suit Atalanta's squad rotation policy. Gasperini has not started any player in every Serie A game this season. This flexibility could provide Chiesa with regular game time without overburdening him.
Liverpool ready to loan out star player they signed in the summer
Chiesa is currently Liverpool’s least-used attacking option. He is unlikely to start important matches as Liverpool chase trophies this season.
However, Liverpool manager Arne Slot might be hesitant to let Chiesa leave without a replacement. The club may evaluate its attacking options before making a decision.
Additionally, Liverpool could receive interest from other Italian clubs. If more offers come in, they might wait for the most lucrative proposal before making their final decision.
A loan move to Atalanta could be beneficial for Chiesa. He would get more playing time and help Atalanta's title push. For Liverpool, the decision will depend on whether they can find a suitable alternative to strengthen their squad.
