Just one year after arriving at Anfield from Juventus in a £12 million deal, **Federico Chiesa** is reportedly seeking a move back to Italy. According to transfer insider **Fabrizio Romano**, the Liverpool winger is prioritizing a return to **Serie A** this summer, following a debut season plagued by injuries and inconsistency.
Despite his affection for the club, Chiesa has struggled to establish himself under **Arne Slot**, who guided Liverpool to a Premier League title. A combination of recurring fitness issues and stiff competition in attack has limited his game time, with Chiesa often reduced to brief cameos or excluded entirely from the matchday squad.
### Liverpool Open to Offers
Liverpool is said to be open to parting ways with the 26-year-old, who is no longer seen as a central figure in the club’s long-term plans. Though some within the club still believe in his potential, ongoing doubts about his fitness and suitability for the Premier League have grown.
### Napoli Leading the Chase
**Napoli** is reportedly at the front of the queue for Chiesa’s signature. The club is eager to rebuild after a difficult season and views the Italian international as a valuable addition. Other Serie A sides, including **Roma**, are also monitoring the situation and have been in contact with Chiesa’s representatives.
### Time for a Reset?
Chiesa’s exit could help Liverpool free up funds to target a more durable, consistently available attacker. With the 2026 World Cup qualifiers approaching, a return to Italy could also help the winger get regular minutes and revive his international prospects.
In a Liverpool attack featuring the likes of **Salah, Díaz, Jota, and Gakpo**, Chiesa has found opportunities hard to come by. A move back to familiar surroundings might be the reset he needs to reignite his career.
