Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa to be sold few months after signing

One player who may try to leave Liverpool during the January transfer window, according to Italian media is summer signing, Federico Chiesa. Federico Chiesa's journey since joining Anfield towards the very end of August has been one of ongoing frustration, as his fitness issues have limited his playing time to only 78 minutes for the Reds (each one of those occurred in September). 

Rumors of a possible mid-season departure from Merseyside have already surfaced, and they are still circulating in his home nation. Despite Liverpool's seeming unwillingness to consider it, reports said that Chiesa is ready to "dig his heels in" and pursue a move out of the club in January.

Fali Ramadani, the 27-year-old's agent, is also said to have discussed the prospect of a mid-season move to the forward's home country with Inter Milan and Roma, despite the fact that neither team would have the funds to buy him fully in the winter. Alternatively, a first loan transfer with a purchase obligation can be taken into consideration. 

There is no denying that Chiesa's move to Liverpool hasn't gone as planned thus far, and some have already likened it to Arthur Melo's disastrous loan stint from two seasons ago because of how injury-plagued it was. Even though he has been just at Anfield for a brief period and has experienced absolutely no luck with injuries, it is still too soon to dismiss him as a failure.

Will Liverpool sell Federico Chiesa in January?

Due to the "up and down" nature of his injury issues, Arne Slot has been hesitant to provide a timeline for when the 27-year-old would again play for the Reds. One can only hope that luck will finally turn in favor of the former Juventus player and he will soon be able to contribute to the team. 

Everyone would be shocked if Chiesa were already demanding a move away from Merseyside despite his fitness issues, especially given his obvious joy at joining Liverpool in late August. Unless confirmed by a more trustworthy source, we advise treating these reports from his home country with caution.
