Federico Chiesa is a fan-favourite at Anfield, but his Liverpool career hasn’t gone as he would have hoped. What should Liverpool do with Alisson Becker? 🐐 Liverpool are triggering that extension to 2027… but the summer exit door is still wide open 🚪😬Photo by Charlotte Wilson/Offside/Offside via Getty ImagesGiorgi Mamardashvili will be watching closely… Gianluigi Buffon was recently discussing the World Cup coming up in June, and whether he sees Chiesa as having a part to play.

Gianluigi Buffon not giving up on Federico Chiesa Despite playing a minimal role for Liverpool this season, Chiesa still has plenty to give on the international stage. Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images“We have people who have been involved in the national team for a long time now and who truly have the qualities and the character to express a certain type of leadership and guide their teammates.” Italy manager Gennaro Gattuso told Chiesa he has to play to be considered for a major role in his side, and so far, that hasn’t happened.

Chiesa’s prospects at Liverpool will only get worse Hopefully, Gattuso is thinking the same way as Buffon, because minutes are going to be very hard to come by as we enter the business end of the season. With Alexander Isak returning for Liverpool next month, and Rio Ngumoha staking his claim for a bigger role, it’s hard to see fortunes changing for Chiesa.
