The name Federico Chiesa set the transfer rumour mill ablaze in the final days of the summer window as he was linked with Inter following Juventus’ decision to offload him.
Ultimately, he made the move to Liverpool, where he’s been struggling to secure a spot in the starting lineup.
The hot topic at the moment is the possibility of Chiesa returning to Serie A.
According to Calciomercato.com, this scenario is rather complicated due to the player’s substantial salary, which is beyond the means of many Italian clubs.
Chiesa earns €7.5 million per season until 2028, a figure that poses a significant obstacle.
The outlet notes, “Signing Chiesa, even on a loan, could be a gamble to revive his career,” pointing out that the most feasible approach would be a loan deal with Liverpool covering part of his wages.
Few clubs can afford such an arrangement, with Como and Milan among the potential suitors.
Yet, the intentions of the English club remain to be seen.
