Sponsored by. LIVERPOOL are set to let Federico Chiesa leave the club on loan this month, according to reports. Chiesa has struggled for game time for The Reds since joining from Juventus in the summer in a deal worth up to £12.5m. The Italian winger has been hit with injuries and fitness issues that have meant he has only managed to feature four times under Arne Slot since his arrival on Merseyside.

Two of those appearances have come in the Carabao Cup, with one in the Champions League and an 18-minute cameo in the Premier League. Reports from French outlet Foot Mercato claim that Chiesa is now preparing to leave Liverpool on loan in search of regular minutes.

It's said that the 27-year-old has been advised by Italian national coach Luciano Spalletti that he can be reintegrated into the national setup if he is able to revitalise his season in Italy. Serie A league leaders Napoli, currently managed by Antonio Conte, are thought to be the front runners for his signature.
Fiorentina and Inter have also been linked, but Napoli are best-placed to secure his services. It's claimed that Chiesa's agent, Fali Ramadani, held a meeting with Liverpool's representatives in which both parties agreed to allow the forward to leave on loan this month.
However, there could be a number of stumbling blocks in negotiations. FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS. Chiesa's £150,000-per-week salary is said to be complicating things, despite Liverpool accepting they would have to cover a chunk of the Italian's pay packet.
