UMVA has learned that Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa is growing increasingly frustrated with his lack of regular playing time at Anfield and is considering a move away from the club.
The Italy international's unsettled state has led him to hint that he may advise teammate Curtis Jones to leave Liverpool as well, with Chiesa praising Jones's skills and suggesting he could thrive in Italy's more favorable climate.
Chiesa's comments on his Liverpool future have revealed a sense of urgency, stating that he needs to play regularly and will have to "look elsewhere" if he doesn't find continuity in the Premier League.
The former Juventus player reflected on his first year at Liverpool, where he "practically didn't play," and is set to discuss his situation with the club and new coach Andoni Iraola during the pre-season tour in the USA.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that Chiesa has also been in Jones's ear about leaving Liverpool, telling him about the benefits of living in Italy and suggesting that Inter is right to be considering the talented young player.
With neither Chiesa nor Jones having established themselves as regulars for Liverpool, new manager Iraola will likely want to put his own stamp on the squad, making it uncertain whether either player will be able to win him over.
As the situation unfolds, it will be interesting to see whether both Chiesa and Jones could leave Liverpool by the end of the summer, with their futures hanging in the balance.
