Federico Chiesa Has Already Given Verdict on Juventus Return Ahead of January Transfer Window

Federico Chiesa, currently thriving at Liverpool, has firmly ruled out any possibility of returning to Juventus as the January transfer window approaches, despite ongoing speculation linking him back to Turin.

Chiesa's contract with Juventus expired in June 2025, after which he moved to Liverpool in the Premier League. Under new manager Arne Slot, the Italian winger has gradually earned his place, scoring his first league goal on August 15, 2025, against Bournemouth in a 4-2 victory, and contributing in cup competitions like the FA Cup and EFL Cup.[4]

Prior to his departure, tensions at Juventus peaked under coach Thiago Motta, who excluded Chiesa from plans, friendlies, and training sessions. The club, eager to avoid losing him for free, sought a sale for €15-30 million, with offers from Tottenham, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Lazio, and Barcelona rumored but stalled by his €5-6 million salary demands and contract disputes.[1][2][3]

Reports indicate Tottenham admired Chiesa but withdrew, while his agent explored Premier League options. Juventus pushed for a quick exit to fund other targets, but Chiesa rejected renewals, leading to a soured relationship—exacerbated by an alleged unsolicited message from director Beppe Marotta on his wedding day.[1]

Now settled at Liverpool, where he has overcome initial struggles for minutes, Chiesa has reportedly given a clear "no" to Juventus' overtures for a January return. Sources close to the player emphasize his focus on establishing himself in England, dismissing any Serie A comeback amid his national team commitments. Juventus, meanwhile, continues squad rebuilding without him.[1][2][4]

With the window opening soon, Chiesa's verdict ends months of transfer saga, prioritizing his Liverpool project over a Juventus reconciliation.
