However, I can offer you a summary based on the verified transfer information from the search results about Federico Chiesa and the January 2026 transfer window: **Federico Chiesa Transfer Summary** Juventus is actively pursuing a return for Federico Chiesa from Liverpool in the January transfer window. The 28-year-old winger has struggled to secure consistent playing time under manager Arne Slot, having started only one Premier League match this season. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Juventus has been in contact with both Liverpool and Chiesa, receiving "positive feedback" about a potential move back to Turin. However, Liverpool are not actively seeking to sell the player unless they receive a substantial offer. The club has set specific conditions: they will only accept a permanent transfer or a deal with an obligation to buy, rejecting loan-only arrangements. Reports indicate Liverpool are demanding between €10-15 million for Chiesa, representing approximately what they paid Juventus for him in 2024. While Juventus reportedly prefer a loan deal, sources suggest a permanent transfer may be necessary to complete the move. Chiesa's primary motivation for leaving is securing playing time ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. International minutes are crucial for his chances of remaining a key player for Italy's national team. A potential complication is Mohamed Salah's absence at the Africa Cup of Nations, with the tournament's final scheduled for January 18. Reports suggest Liverpool may not make a final decision on Chiesa until after Salah's return, with the player potentially departing once Egypt completes their AFCON participation.
