Report Chiesa prioritising Italy and uninterested in Fenerbahce move | OneFootball

Reports in Italy claim that Federico Chiesa is unmotivated by the idea of a move to join Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super Lig, despite interest from former Inter and Roma head coach Jose Mourinho.

Chiesa is expected to be sold by Liverpool this transfer window, just one year on from his transfer away from Juventus.

Arne Slot’s side paid a €15m fee to bring the 51-time Italy international to Anfield, but are prepared to cut ties after a season that saw him struggle to break into the first-team picture on Merseyside.

Chiesa prioritising Italy over potential Turkey move

A number of clubs in Italy have since been linked with a move for the former Fiorentina forward, and it is understood that Chiesa is seeking regular first-team football with the 2026 World Cup taking place at the end of the coming season.

According to reports from Calciomercato.com, Chiesa is prioritising a return to Italy this summer, which is part of the reason why he has little interest in joining Mourinho at Fenerbahce.

It is understood that Liverpool are seeking a fee of around €15m, the same as what they spent last summer, to sell Chiesa this window.
