Federico Chiesa makes a decisive call on his Liverpool future amid strong transfer interest from Atletico Madrid and Serie A

This development represents a remarkable turnaround for Chiesa, as a summer departure looked almost certain just weeks ago. The forward struggled for regular minutes during Arne Slot’s tenure, making only nine starts after completing a £12.5 million transfer in August 2024.

However, the appointment of Iraola has provided a fresh start. Following a 4-2 victory over Sunderland on Saturday, Chiesa stated: “Right now, at the moment, I am happy here at Liverpool. I love the club, I love the fans, I love everything. I am doing the best I can to have a chance here and then we will see. At the minute, the only thing I am thinking about is Liverpool.”
