Monday brought news that Kostas Tsimikas’ Liverpool exit is accelerating, and the Greek may not be the only one heading through the exit door.
For much of the summer, Federico Chiesa had been expected to be on his way back to Italy.
However, with two weeks to go in the window, Chiesa remains a Red.
After the Italian scored a dramatic late winner against Bournemouth on Friday night, there have been suggestions that Chiesa is now likely to stay at Liverpool.

According to Lynch, however, the reason Chiesa has not been sold is because no ‘serious offer’ has been forthcoming for him.
Should one arrive, the 27-year-old could seemingly still go.
“I had a conversation yesterday that [suggested] you still can’t rule out that he’ll go,” the reporter told Anfield Index.

“What’s being said by people you speak to at Liverpool is that no serious offers have been received for him thus far in the window.
“Maybe it’ll be a return to Italy and that will be an attractive option, but if the player says ‘I’m not going,’ then he’s got a contract and Liverpool will have to keep him around.”
In terms of pure numbers, it would be verging on lunacy for Liverpool to sell Chiesa without bringing another forward in.
However, Liverpool are keen to sign Alexander Isak and there is chance they still get the Swede on a record deal from Newcastle.
If that ends up happening, it is easy to see how Chiesa then leaves.
It could work.
But if Liverpool do pull off their dream signing and get Isak, it does feel possible that Chiesa could then go.
