Napoli Set to Open Talks with Liverpool Winger Federico Chiesa
2024/25 Serie A champions Napoli are reportedly preparing to open transfer discussions with Liverpool regarding Italian winger Federico Chiesa.
Chiesa joined the Premier League giants from Juventus during the 2024 summer transfer window but has struggled to find consistent game time at Anfield. According to multiple reports from Italy, Napoli are eyeing both Federico Chiesa and Jack Grealish as potential additions to bolster their attacking depth for the 2025/26 campaign.
Both players have fallen down the pecking order at Liverpool and Manchester City respectively, and may be looking for a fresh start elsewhere to revive their form and secure more playing time.
While Napoli have already signed Noa Lang ahead of the new season, manager Antonio Conte is said to be keen on adding one more experienced winger to strengthen his side’s attacking options. Among the two, Chiesa appears to be the more viable target due to his previous success in Serie A and his familiarity with the Italian league’s pace and style.
According to Gazzetta, Chiesa would be open to a move to Napoli, especially after being left out of Liverpool’s pre-season tour of East Asia, where the Reds are set to face AC Milan in a high-profile friendly match.
🔢 How Many Goals Has Chiesa Scored for Liverpool?
Since signing for Liverpool on August 29, 2024, Federico Chiesa has scored 2 goals across all competitions:
- FA Cup: Chiesa scored his first Liverpool goal in a 4–0 win against Accrington Stanley on January 11, 2025.
- EFL Cup: He came off the bench to score in the League Cup Final on March 16, 2025, though Liverpool were narrowly defeated 2–1 by Newcastle United.
Despite limited appearances, Chiesa has shown glimpses of quality, and a return to Serie A could help reignite the form that made him one of Europe’s most sought-after wingers.
