Federico Chiesa has been linked with a move away from Liverpool, but the winger could feature more in Arne Slot's plans - and it may be influenced by Mohamed Salah's uncertain futureThe uncertainty over Mohamed Salah's future could impact Liverpool teammate Federico Chiesa(Image: Nikki Dyer - LFC, Liverpool FC via Getty Images)Mohamed Salah's uncertain future at Liverpool could open the door for Federico Chiesa to play a bigger role in the squad, despite fresh interest from Italian clubs.

And now, despite ongoing interest from Italy, the 28-year-old could find himself back in Slot's thinking.Italian publication Tuttomercatoweb reports that AS Roma and Napoli have made enquiries about the winger in 'recent days.' Both sides are reportedly weighing up a loan deal, which could suit Chiesa and Liverpool.However, Liverpool's No. 14 might be wise to hold fire, as Salah's unclear future could have a direct bearing on his own prospects at the club.Chiesa might have anticipated that Salah's recent stint on the substitutes' bench would create an opening for him to secure playing time.
That hasn't materialised over the last week, but should Salah continue to be omitted - as he is for Tuesday's Champions League encounter with Inter Milan - Chiesa could seize his opportunity to prove his worth.His significance could increase even more if Salah opts to depart in January. The Egyptian acknowledged in his remarks that he remains uncertain about what lies ahead following Saturday's fixture against Brighton.Despite enduring similar frustrations on the bench, Chiesa has persisted in working diligently to force his way into Slot's line-up.
