CaughtOffside: Milan could offer winger Italy return as Liverpool open to €25-30m sale | OneFootball

Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa is attracting interest ahead of the summer transfer window, and AC Milan are among the teams keen.

According to what sources have told our colleagues at CaughtOffside, Chiesa is ’emerging as a target for AC Milan’ along with three Premier League clubs that at the moment remain unnamed. He was also a target for Napoli during the winter window, but rejected them.

A possible move back to Serie A ‘could be an option’ for Chiesa given that the 27-year-old is struggling for minutes under Arne Slot following his move to Anfield from Juventus. The winger was ‘keen to give his time at Liverpool more of a chance’, but now is aware things are ‘just not working out’.

Going back to Italy would ‘make the most sense for Chiesa’ as per the report, but staying in the Premier League could be an option too given the interest from English sides. CaughtOffside add that Liverpool ‘would likely ask for a fee in the region of €25-30m’ to sell.

Having found himself behind Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota, there ‘certainly seems little need to keep hold of Chiesa’. Nonetheless, he is likely to pick up a Premier League winners medal at the end of the current campaign.

It would be a move that stacks up with Milan’s reported mission to bring more Italian influence into the squad, including players who know the league well.
