Federico Chiesa has been a bit of a curious case for Liverpool since his arrival from Juventus in the summer.

Even though the Italy international only cost the Anfield outfit around £12million, he still hasn’t had as much of an impact as most would’ve liked him to.

And, even though a Liverpool exit would probably be the best thing for both parties, the Reds are playing hard to get.

Chiesa’s future at Liverpool has had question marks hanging over it for the last couple of months.

However, as per a fresh report from Dazn reporter Orazio Accomando, it seems like Liverpool are playing hard to get regarding his exit.

This is because Liverpool are not ‘open’ to loaning the Italian out this summer and would prefer a straight sale.

And, to be quite frank, he deserves to have at least a consistent run of games to see if he can get back into the swing of things next term.

However, if that doesn’t work, that’s when the Anfield outfit should look into a potential January exit for the attacker.

But, for now, despite all the talk around Chiesa’s Liverpool future that has surfaced, it feels like he still deserves a chance to prove his worth.
