I cannot access the specific URL you provided, as my search results do not include that particular article from rousingthekop.com. However, based on the search results available to me, I can provide information about the Federico Chiesa transfer situation that appears to be current as of January 2026: **Federico Chiesa Transfer Summary** Liverpool has made a decision regarding Federico Chiesa's future following interest from Juventus to re-sign him during the January transfer window.[1] The 28-year-old Italian winger, who transferred from Juventus to Liverpool last season, has struggled to secure regular playing time at Anfield, appearing in only 34 matches with just 7 starts, 4 goals, and 5 assists.[1] Liverpool has reportedly placed a €10 million asking price on Chiesa as Juventus contemplates bringing him back to Turin.[3] This valuation aligns with the player's remaining book value, allowing Liverpool to avoid a capital loss on their investment.[3] The primary structural disagreement centers on the deal format: Juventus prefers a loan with an option to buy that becomes an obligation based on appearances, while Liverpool is reportedly demanding a permanent transfer or at minimum a loan with a definitive obligation to purchase.[2][3] Chiesa's motivation to leave stems from World Cup aspirations, as he seeks regular playing time to secure his place in Italy's 2026 World Cup squad.[1][3] He has reportedly contacted former Juventus teammates to gather information about the club's current structure.[2] Liverpool manager Arne Slot shows little indication of increasing Chiesa's opportunities, and the club initially appeared reluctant to release another forward following Alexander Isak's serious injury.[1] However, ongoing negotiations suggest movement toward a resolution, with Chiesa willing to return to Serie A and Juventus actively pursuing the transfer.
