Federico Chiesa’s exit from Liverpool appears increasingly likely as multiple Serie A clubs show interest in signing the 27-year-old winger. Having been left out of Liverpool's 29-man squad for the pre-season tour in Asia, Chiesa’s future at Anfield is now in doubt. This omission from the traveling squad has intensified speculation that Liverpool are ready to part ways with him.

Among the interested parties, Atalanta have emerged as front-runners, preparing to offer around €12 million (£10.4 million) to secure Chiesa’s services. They see him as a direct replacement for Ademola Lookman, who is set to leave the club. This fee represents a potential loss for Liverpool, who acquired Chiesa for a higher sum and now seem willing to sell him below that price to facilitate his departure.

Liverpool are already scouting replacements, with Lyon's Malick Fofana reportedly on their radar should Chiesa leave. The club seems to be holding off on further moves until Chiesa’s situation is resolved.

Additional rumors surround Liverpool’s transfer activities, including continued interest in players like Darwin Nunez, who is also linked with Juventus, and Rodrygo from Real Madrid as part of Liverpool’s summer ambitions. Newcastle United are reportedly worried that Alexander Isak may choose a move to Liverpool before the new season begins.

At the same time, Liverpool's manager Arne Slot is giving youth player Ben Doak a chance to impress in pre-season, signaling a potential mix of experienced and young talent planning for the new campaign.

Overall, Chiesa’s exclusion from the squad and the subsequent interest from Serie A clubs suggest that his Liverpool tenure could be nearing its end.
