Federico Chiesa leaning towards Juventus transfer

Federico Chiesa is reportedly leaning towards a return to Juventus, with the Italian winger open to leaving Liverpool after a difficult 18 months in England. Signed by Liverpool from Juventus in the summer of 2024, Chiesa has struggled for continuity and impact in the Premier League, prompting him to seriously consider a move back to Turin to relaunch his career.

Juventus have already made initial contact with Liverpool to explore the terms of a potential deal and to gauge the player’s willingness to come back. Chiesa, who knows the club, environment and expectations well, is said to view Juve as the ideal destination to regain form, playing time and visibility ahead of major international commitments with Italy.

The article explains that Liverpool are open to a transfer but would prefer a permanent sale rather than a simple loan, aiming to recoup much of the fee they paid for him. This financial stance, along with Chiesa’s salary, represents the main obstacle for Juventus, who must balance their interest with budget constraints and other squad priorities during the window.

Despite these hurdles, the piece notes that Chiesa’s priority is a Juventus return over other possible destinations in Serie A, as he believes Max Allegri’s side (or the current coaching setup) offers the best context for him to play regularly and return to his previous levels. For Juve, the deal is viewed as an “opportunity”: a chance to add a versatile, high-level attacking option who can operate both wide and more centrally.

While negotiations are still at an exploratory stage, the article concludes that all parties are now carefully assessing conditions. Chiesa’s growing inclination towards Juventus could prove decisive if the clubs can agree on structure and fee before the transfer window closes.
