QS: Chiesa ‘seriously tempted’ by idea of Italy return as Milan linger | OneFootball

Federico Chiesa’s move to Liverpool has not been as successful as he would have hoped, and AC Milan are lingering in the background waiting for an opportunity to arise.

When the Reds purchased Chiesa in the summer, it was not without risk. In recent years, getting regular minutes from the winger has been rare, and he has struggled to re-find the form from before his ACL injury.

Nevertheless, a fresh chapter was hopefully the end of his struggles. It has not gone like this so far, though, and a move back to Italy could be on the horizon if things do not change in the next month.

As Quotidiano Sportivo (via Milan News) report, the winger would be ‘seriously tempted’ by a return back to Italy in the winter mercato, and several Serie A teams would benefit with a profile like his. However, with his €7 million salary it could put some teams out of the running.

Right now, it seems that Inter are leading the race for a homecoming, but his role within Simone Inzaghi’s squad would be different to where he has played his best football. The Rossoneri are also lingering in the background, and it is likely that they will continue to evaluate things as the mercato gets nearer.
