Others are expected to follow, with Kostas Tsimikas, Harvey Elliott and Ben Doak among the group of potential outgoing transfers before the window shuts in just under four weeks.

All five of those were involved in the pre-season matches in Asia last month, with Liverpool facing AC Milan and Yokohama F.Marinos as part of the tour.

The 27-year-old admitted earlier this summer that he would be willing to return to Serie A after a largely unsuccessful year at Liverpool, where he started just one Premier League match all season.

Now, fresh reports have claimed Chiesa is a target for Serie A champions Napoli

Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling have all attracted interest, given they are deemed surplus to requirements at Manchester City and Chelsea.

Chiesa is the third possibility and the article adds that his lower salary could work in his favor.

Meanwhile, transfer reporter Nicolo Schira also claims Chiesa remains a target for Napoli and has asked Liverpool to allow him to leave this summer.

Whether the former Juventus man is involved in Liverpool’s squad to face Athletic Bilbao on Monday could also indicate just how far removed he is from Liverpool’s plans.

Given that Luis Diaz left Liverpool earlier this week, the Reds are particularly short of wide attackers.
