Decision made: Liverpool star wants to STAY despite exit rumours | OneFootball

Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa has reportedly decided he wants to stay at the club and fight for his place in Arne Slot’s first-team.

The Reds signed Chiesa from Juventus in the summer, but it’s fair to say the Italy international hasn’t made much of an impact yet, leading to speculation that he could move on this January.

Fans looking for how to buy Liverpool vs Lille tickets might also be wondering if they’ll see Chiesa in action in the upcoming Champions League game, as he’s not had that many opportunities to impress so far in his time at Anfield.

This might be an opportunity for LFC to rotate a little, which might give fans a glimpse of Chiesa, though if he’s left out again we might see yet more rumours about a return to Serie A.

Still, Florian Plettenberg has suggested the Merseyside giants will probably be keeping the 27-year-old, who isn’t pushing to leave.

Discussing the Chiesa situation, Plettenberg said: “At this stage Federico Chiesa still has no intention of leaving Liverpool until the Deadline Day on February 3. He would like to stay at LFC and prove himself. The 27-year-old winger is fully focused on his goals with LFC. Contract until 2028.”

Chiesa has plenty of potential, as he showed for much of his time at Juve, but one issue for him has been staying fit and performing consistently.

On top of that, Liverpool boss Slot also has plenty of other attacking options to choose from, so it’s not likely to be easy for Chiesa to find a way into the team unless someone else also misses a lot of games through injury.

Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo are all regulars in Slot’s side, while he also has the likes of Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota in that area of the pitch.

Chiesa was perhaps never likely to be a regular starter given all those names also being on the books at LFC, so maybe we’ll eventually see him consider his future if things don’t improve for him by the end of the season.
