Chiesa. Simply the name itself evokes visions of scorching careers down the wing, battered wing-backs and a stadium operating in overdrive. But in Liverpool red? Not so much. Federico Chiesa’s Merseyside saga has been more Les Misérables than Mission Impossible. And now, with Atalanta circling like a Bergamo hawk, we may finally be turning the last page of this misfit football novella.
After arriving in a cut-price deal from Juventus, many believed Chiesa’s Premier League switch would be the comeback tour of a lifetime. But alas, Arne Slot’s Liverpool was already booked solid—with Salah extending, Wirtz dazzling, and Ekitike strutting like a man born for Anfield. Chiesa, meanwhile, clocked a grand total of one Premier League appearance, and that too after the title race was done and dusted. Ouch.
Chiesa Might Not Be Liverpool’s Cup of Earl Grey
Let’s face it—Federico Chiesa wasn’t brought in to warm the bench with a muscle injury while the Reds toured Asia. He was meant to be fireworks, not a sparkler at the end of the party. Now, with Lookman likely leaving Atalanta for Inter Milan, the Serie A side sees Chiesa as the perfect plot twist in their summer drama.
And the timing? Impeccable. It’s a World Cup year. Chiesa wants to play. Arne Slot wants trophies. Something’s got to give.
Chiesa Transfer News Gets Juicier Than a Napoli Scandal
AC Milan and Roma are sniffing too, but Atalanta seems the most serious suitor. Ivan Juric and co. believe the 27-year-old is attainable and, frankly, underused. Liverpool, who shelled out a modest $13 million for him, might even walk away with a profit—and a shrug.
Final Whistle: He Could Write His Next Chapter Back in Italy
Chiesa feels no regrets even before having spent much playing time on the field. He says, as he might say after a holiday romance, I would do it all over again. However, it is about timing, as it is in Westfield’s games and in life, and his clock is ticking away to Bergamo.
So buckle up, Serie A fans. The Chiesa Transfer News carousel is just getting started.
