Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsTransfersLiverpool star Federico Chiesa has apparently decided that he wants to fight for his Reds future – despite having lined up in just two Premier League games over the last two seasonsFederico Chiesa's stance on leaving Liverpool has reportedly changed(Image: Getty Images)Federico Chiesa is reportedly not yet willing to give up on his Liverpool career, after Andoni Iraola was installed as Arne Slot's replacement earlier this month.Slot was fired at the end of May following an end-of-season review, and before his exit it was reported that Chiesa would look to leave Liverpool this summer in a bid to find regular game time.Chiesa made just two Premier League starts for Liverpool across two seasons under Slot, and he was rarely trusted to deliver for the Dutchman in big moments.However, it is now suggested by Italian journalist Mirko Di Natale that Chiesa wants to fight for his future under a new boss.Meanwhile, Inter Milan is reported by Gazzetta to have made an initial offer to sign Curtis Jones – but it has fallen way short of Liverpool's valuation of the midfielder.Inter's starting offer is said to be in the region of €20 million ($23 million), but Liverpool wants at least €30 million ($35 million), as well as the inclusion of add-ons and a sell-on clause in the deal.A compromise between the two clubs could be reached on the fee, with the sweet spot viewed as €25 million ($29 million).Although both clubs are willing to compromise on the transfer fee, Liverpool is unlikely to budge on the inclusion of a sell-on clause in the agreement.Jones is said to be keen on the move, and Liverpool teammate Chiesa revealed in an interview earlier this month that Jones had asked him about what life is like in Italy.Curtis Jones could leave Liverpool this summer(Image: Jack Thomas, Getty Images)“Jones just asked me what life is like in Italy,” Chiesa said. “I told him it’s great and the weather is better than Liverpool, which, aside from that, is a special place.“Jones is really strong technically.
Inter are right to think about him.”Although Jones would surely appeal to a host of Premier League clubs – with Tottenham among the top-flight outfits that have been linked with a move for the England international – Jones is reportedly intent on testing himself in a new country.Jones has never commanded a regular starting position in Liverpool 's midfield, and the arrival of Iraola has done nothing to change Jones's view that his career would be best served by a move away from Anfield.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCFederico ChiesaTransfers
