Chiesa Gives Liverpool Pre‑Season Deadline on Playing Time

A meeting with new coach Andoni Iraola during Liverpool’s U.S. tour will decide whether Chiesa stays or seeks a move.

Overview

  • Federico Chiesa has said he needs regular minutes to revive his career and will leave Liverpool if he does not find consistent playing time.
  • He plans to attend Liverpool’s pre-season tour in the United States and will discuss his role directly with new head coach Andoni Iraola before making a decision.
  • Chiesa has struggled for continuity at Anfield, making about 50 appearances with roughly nine starts since joining in 2024 and logging under 1,200 minutes overall.
  • He revealed that a proposed January exit was blocked by the club because Liverpool were short of attacking options at the time, which kept him at Anfield for the rest of the season.
  • Serie A interest has been reported, including from Juventus and Como, but Como’s president said Chiesa could be beyond their budget and any move will depend on Liverpool’s valuation and Iraola’s plans.
