Federico Chiesa’s future at Liverpool is up in the air following a disappointing season where he made just two starts—one each in the Premier League and Champions League—both in matches with little at stake.
According to Calcio Mercato, Beşiktaş manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eyeing the Italian winger as a possible addition to his squad. The Turkish side has reportedly reached out to Liverpool to explore the possibility of a deal. Napoli is also said to be monitoring the situation.
Given Chiesa’s minimal involvement this season, Liverpool may be open to offers. The 26-year-old didn’t make his first league start until May, in a match against Chelsea after the title race had ended. His sole Champions League start came against PSV Eindhoven, with Liverpool’s qualification already secured.
Solskjaer, preparing for his first full season in charge at Beşiktaş, is planning a major squad overhaul after a disappointing campaign that left the club far behind Süper Lig champions Galatasaray.
Chiesa, who arrived at Anfield from Juventus last summer, may look to return to Serie A for more regular playing time. Napoli has already contacted Liverpool, signaling a potential move back to Italy.
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano weighed in on his YouTube channel:
“Federico Chiesa is hoping to leave Liverpool, though it’s a difficult decision. He has good relationships within the club, but he’s eager to play more consistently.”
