Federico Chiesa could end up staying in the Premier League beyond the closure of the transfer window — but not with Liverpool.

That's because Fulham is being linked with a move to sign the Italy international, who looks set to leave Anfield after just one season with the club.

Chiesa started just twice across the Premier League and Champions League across the course of the 2024-25 season, and both of the games he lined up in were effective dead rubbers.

Italian oulet La Repubblica reports that Fulham is interested in possibly taking Chiesa on loan, while Celtic is also considering a loan swoop for the 27-year-old.

Chiesa was the most notable exclusion from Liverpool's traveling squad for the pre-season tour of China, with the club suggesting that his absence was due to a slight fitness issue.

Just hours prior to Liverpool's flight to Hong Kong last month, the Italy international scored in the Reds' 5-0 behind-closed-doors victory over Stoke City at the AXA Training Center.

Given his difficult first season in England, Chiesa's omission has prompted more questions than answers

Speaking in an interview with Italian media in June, Chiesa revealed that a decision would soon be taken over his future.

“The year is over

I wouldn’t mind staying in Liverpool at all.



Chiesa's first season in England was a disappointment

“In the first few months there was no shortage of difficulties, if you think that I arrived in Liverpool on 26 August and found myself catapulted to another planet.

"With other teammates, without having trained with them, but with a coach, zero friendlies, nothing… And, if you remember, in the autumn Liverpool were three times as good as the others, a crazy intensity.”

Atalanta has been linked with Chiesa, amid the prospect of Ademola Lookman joining Inter Milan, while Napoli manager Antonio Conte is also a fan of the out-of-favor Reds forward.

Chiesa's Liverpool salary is likely to be an obstacle for most suitors in Italy, and if the player is not willing to take a pay cut in order to secure a return to Italy, the Reds may have to subsidize his salary to get him out of Anfield.
