Who should be Liverpool’s No.
Whether that was a result of a lack of rhythm, or simply that the injury issues which plagued his final years with Juve caught up to him, we’ll never really know.Either way, Liverpool fans have never seen the best of Chiesa, and according to Romano, they never will, with a return to Italy on the cards for this summer.“Federico Chiesa is ready to leave the Liverpool project this summer; barring any surprises, he’ll leave,” the journalist shared on WhatsApp on Friday evening.
