Federico Chiesa's future at Liverpool appears uncertain as AC Milan have initiated contact to sign him, amid strong interest from several Serie A clubs.

Chiesa, who joined Liverpool a year ago from Juventus for €12 million, has struggled for game time at Anfield. He made only 14 competitive appearances last season, totaling just 466 minutes on the pitch, scoring two goals and providing two assists. Such limited involvement and a "minor issue" cited for his exclusion from Liverpool’s 29-man squad for the preseason tour of Asia have fueled speculation about his departure this summer.

Among the interested parties, AC Milan, Napoli, Juventus, and Atalanta are notable Serie A sides keen on acquiring the Italian international winger. It has been reported that Atalanta is ready to pay the €12 million Liverpool paid and that Liverpool may subsidize a significant portion of Chiesa’s salary to facilitate the move, possibly on a three-year contract. Atalanta sees him as a replacement for Ademola Lookman, who is seeking a transfer to Inter Milan.

Despite Liverpool fans’ affection for Chiesa, evident from chants during matches, the player’s disrupted preseason and minimal playing time have raised questions about his role under Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool’s hierarchy may consider offers seriously, especially given their willingness to ease the financial burden of his wages for any potential buying club.

Chiesa’s future at Liverpool depends on whether the club opts to retain faith in him or sanction a loan or permanent transfer. If allowed to leave, a competitive scramble among Italy's biggest clubs could ensue to bring him back to Serie A.
