Juventus\u2019 contact for Federico Chiesa has been confirmed by our transfer insider Dean Jones, who has told the Liverpool forward why he should strongly consider an exit.<\/p>\n
Chiesa registered 32 goals and 24 assists in 131 appearances for Juve between 2020 and 2024, helping the club win two Coppa Italias and one\u00a0Supercoppa Italiana. Chiesa left Turin in August 2024 by joining Liverpool<\/a> for \u00a310million plus \u00a32.5m in potential add-ons.<\/p>\n The Italy international was Liverpool\u2019s only new arrival in summer 2024, and he played 14 times in all competitions as the Reds won the Premier League title during Arne Slot\u2019s first season in charge.<\/p>\n Chiesa<\/a> has managed two goals and three assists in 17 matches this term, which includes a crucial goal in the 4-2 win over Bournemouth on the opening day of the season. He is a cult hero at Anfield and arguably has one of the club\u2019s best chants.<\/p>\n Chiesa has proven to be a useful player for Slot, making an impact off the bench as either a winger or centre-forward.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old has clear quality \u2013 despite his poor injury record \u2013 and has been unlucky not to start games more regularly.<\/p>\n The Italian press claimed on Tuesday that Juventus have made made an approach to try and re-sign Chiesa<\/a> on an initial loan deal in January.<\/p>\n We asked Jones about the situation, and he said:\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s true that Chiesa is a transfer subject at Juve but the people I have spoken to are unsure about the player\u2019s own stance. It\u2019s definitely one that could open up but he needs to be fully on board.<\/p>\n \u201cA problem Juve have is that Chiesa has been extremely determined to prove himself at Liverpool, almost to a fault. Really he should have left in the summer, his chances have been so few and far between, and he never gets a chance to truly build form.<\/p>\n \u201cSo now that they are touching base about trying to get him back to Italy, the top thing they want to discover is about the player\u2019s desire.<\/p>\n \u201cIs he willing to accept his time at Liverpool has not been wholly successful on a personal level or is he still wanting to stick it out?<\/p>\n \u201cMaking a decision like this, to go back to Juve, is a tough one because time has moved on and the conditions are different \u2013 but he\u2019s only 28 and Juve want to convince him that the familiar surroundings of Turin could spark his career back into life.\u201d<\/p>\n Want more breaking transfer lines from original sources?
