Federico Chiesa Shows True Colours in Liverpool Exit Talks as Transfer Stance Made Clear
Federico Chiesa is pushing hard for a return to Juventus, demonstrating his commitment by offering to slash his hefty €6m-per-year salary to facilitate the move from Liverpool. According to reports, the 28-year-old Italian winger has made it crystal clear to Juventus: "Reach an agreement between the clubs and my salary won’t be a problem."[1]
This "significant step" forward in negotiations comes after 18 challenging months at Anfield, where Chiesa has struggled for playing time under manager Arne Slot. Limited to just 529 minutes this season, he harbors frustration and unfinished business with his former club, which he reluctantly left 18 months ago.[1] Chiesa's Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) stands at €20m, allowing Liverpool to potentially profit handsomely on the deal.[1]
Juventus have made informal contact for a January loan, but Liverpool's stance includes two key conditions: securing a suitable replacement and favorable terms.[2] This development could open the door for Liverpool to pursue RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, with talks reportedly underway. If a deal for Nusa progresses, Chiesa's exit to Serie A might accelerate rapidly.[1]
Italian journalist sources, including Gazzetta dello Sport, confirm Chiesa's proactive role, marking a shift from Juventus' initial interest—now fueled by his personal sacrifice.[3] Liverpool, the Premier League champions, view this as an opportunity to refresh their squad amid Chiesa's clear desire for more minutes back in Italy.
