Arne Slot Responds to Reports that Federico Chiesa Could End Liverpool Spell as Early as January with Ex-Juventus Winger Struggling in Fight with Injuries

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has responded to rumors suggesting that Federico Chiesa could leave the club in January.

The Italian winger has been linked with a move away from Anfield after struggling for fitness since joining the Reds from Juventus in the summer.

Chiesa has only made three appearances for Liverpool this season due to a series of injury problems.

Slot has now admitted that the club could be willing to let Chiesa leave in January if he is not fully fit.

“We have to make a decision on what’s best for the club and for the player,” Slot said.

“If Federico is not going to be fit enough to play regularly, then it might be better for him to move on.

“But we will not make any decisions until we have spoken to him and his representatives.”

Chiesa is believed to be a target for Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan.

The 25-year-old is thought to be keen on returning to Italy, where he spent the majority of his career.

Chiesa has been capped 43 times by Italy and was part of the squad that won the European Championship in 2020.

Here are some additional details about the situation:

• Chiesa has been struggling with a hamstring injury since joining Liverpool.
• He has only made three appearances for the Reds this season.
• Juventus, Inter Milan, and AC Milan are all interested in signing Chiesa.
• Chiesa is believed to be keen on returning to Italy.
• Liverpool are willing to let Chiesa leave if he is not fully fit.

Only time will tell what the future holds for Chiesa.

But if he does leave Liverpool in January, it will be a major blow for the Reds.

Chiesa is a world-class talent, and he would be a valuable asset to any team.
