Liverpool Fans Make Their Verdict on Federico Chiesa After Just 45 Minutes of Pre-Season Action
Liverpool supporters have quickly formed an opinion on Federico Chiesa after just the first half of the Reds’ pre-season opener against Preston North End.
Following a dominant 2024/25 Premier League title win, manager Arne Slot has wasted no time strengthening his squad with key additions like Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, along with Milos Kerkez early in the transfer window.
As the new season approaches, Liverpool kicked off their pre-season at Deepdale, where Preston North End honored the tragic loss of Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva.
Supporters Urge Liverpool to Keep Chiesa
While stars like Mo Salah featured from the beginning, it was Federico Chiesa who stood out and grabbed the fans’ attention.
Chiesa, who struggled for game time last season with just six league appearances and one start, has been the subject of exit rumors. But after his standout performance, many fans are now eager for the club to retain the Italian winger.
One fan posted:
“We can’t let Chiesa go. Give him another season—he just needs fitness and rhythm. His energy could be vital for us.”
Another commented:
“I’ve always liked Chiesa, even before he joined us. I really hope he gets a real chance this season—he’s top quality when he’s in form.”
A third added:
“We’d be crazy to sell him—he’s a fantastic player.”
Chiesa Opens Up About His Future
Speaking to Corriere Dello Sport in May, Chiesa admitted his frustration over limited playing time and confirmed he will assess his future this summer.
“This season is done, but I don’t regret it. Soon, I’ll meet with the club, my agent Fali Ramadani, and my family to find the best solution. I wouldn’t mind staying at Liverpool at all,” he said.
