Federico Chiesa open to Liverpool exit

Fabrizio Romano has said that Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa is ready to leave for Juventus in the January transfer window.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has said on his YouTube channel: “I also wanted to add something about Federico Chiesa.

“We learned this week that Juve had expressed their intention to Liverpool and their agents to begin negotiations.

“We also told you about the player’s openness and then Liverpool’s intention to enforce their terms.

“This intention remains, in the sense that Liverpool, despite Federico Chiesa’s zero minutes last night against Arsenal, continue to insist that, in terms of numbers, in such a long season, with so much competition and, above all, injuries for Liverpool, releasing Chiesa is something Liverpool currently have no intention of doing, unless a significant offer arrives, and then Liverpool insist on a permanent transfer or an obligation to buy.

“Juve continue to remain on an initial loan, evaluating the possibility of proposing something more creative, perhaps including a conditional obligation.

“Today, Liverpool want a guaranteed obligation.”
