As per a report from Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Serie A outfit Atalanta are now targeting Chiesa as their ‘priority’ target this summer.

AS Roma have also entered the race for the attacker, but it’s Atalanta who have surfaced as front-runners.

The report adds that Atalanta are expecting to lose Ademola Lookman this summer, so Chiesa would be a perfect player to fit into their ranks, as he can play on the right wing as well as a striker.

Once called “fantastic” by Rio Ferdinand, it’s clear that Chiesa has plenty of talent still within him.

However, with the rumours surrounding the futures of players such as Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, it feels silly for Liverpool to try and sell Chiesa this summer.

Indeed, the £10million or so that the Reds would receive for Chiesa’s sale would be able to get put towards a new player, but in reality, he’d be worth more to the club if he stayed on.

If both Nunez and Diaz depart this summer, it would also give Chiesa more of a chance due to there being fewer competitors for their first team.
