And despite the 28-year-old featuring so little for the Reds, he is not demanding a move out of the club and instead hoping to get a shot under new head coach Andoni Iraola.All signs pointed towards Liverpool sticking with Slot before a surprise announcement came of his firing after an end of season review meeting.
The Reds quickly appointed Iraola, who Richard Hughes previously brought in at Bournemouth.TuttoJuve has reported Chiesa is hopeful that he will be in Iraola's plans, having failed to make his mark in his two years at Anfield so far.Chiesa joined Liverpool in 2024 on a cut-price after injury issues at Juventus, while regularly being linked back to the club.Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa.(Image: Andrew Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images)He recently spoke glowingly about his former club, stating: "I'd love to return to Juventus.

However, it would be a big surprise if he was to have a future at the club."While he has not had the opportunities he would have hoped for, Chiesa has regularly flattered to deceive when he has started.
