UMVA has learned that Federico Chiesa is on the verge of a dramatic exit from Liverpool, fueled by his extreme frustration with the lack of playing time under manager Arne Slot.
The Italian international, who cost £12.5 million two years ago, has been a peripheral figure at Anfield, starting just two Premier League matches and accumulating a mere 422 minutes on the pitch. Chiesa's stifled ambitions have sparked a heated desire to seek new opportunities.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Chiesa is set to hold talks with new manager Andoni Iraola to discuss his future at Liverpool. However, the 28-year-old's patience has worn thin, and he has hinted at a potential departure, stating he will "look elsewhere" if he is not part of Iraola's plans for the upcoming season.
In a candid interview, Chiesa revealed that he was prevented from leaving in January by Slot, who allegedly needed him for numerical reasons. Despite this, Chiesa remains committed to finding a solution that allows him to play regularly, saying, "I want to play. If I don't find consistency in the Premier League, I'll have to look elsewhere."
Chiesa's situation has sparked intense speculation about his next move, with the player himself indicating that he is open to any opportunity that guarantees him a spot on the pitch. As he prepares for a training camp in the US, Chiesa's future at Liverpool hangs in the balance, leaving fans wondering if this could be the end of his tumultuous Anfield chapter.
