The Reds need more pace and depth in wide areas, with Chiesa having so far been unable to make much of an impact.Starting just once in the Premier League in the season just gone, and mainly being used as an impact player late on off the bench, Chiesa could look to get more minutes elsewhere by securing a move away.He has another year left on the contract that he signed when he arrived from Serie A, with Como the latest team back in Italy to show an interest in him ahead of the summer.Napoli, AC Milan and AS Roma have also been linked with holding an interest in Chiesa, with Liverpool spending a cut-price $13 million (£10 million) on him in the summer of 2024.Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa.(Image: Andrew Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)"I could see Chiesa thriving at a team like Newcastle," Rossi told Ozoon.

We hope he can rediscover the form he showed back in 2020 when we won the Euros; he was such an important piece for us."He’s one of the best wingers out there, and even though he hasn't quite lived up to the hype recently, he has the capability.
