Inter Milan Eyes Federico Chiesa as Potential Addition
Federico Chiesa, 28, who joined Liverpool from Juventus in 2024 for approximately £12.5 million, is facing a challenging period on Merseyside. The Italian international, earning a reported £150,000 per week, has struggled for consistent playing time since his arrival.
While Chiesa can celebrate being a Premier League title winner, he has often found himself in a limited role at Anfield. It appears that he has not managed to impress manager Andoni Iraola during preseason, leading to speculation about a potential departure, pending Liverpool’s asking price being met.
Chiesa to Succeed Roma-Bound Luis Henrique?
Inter Milan plans to transfer Brazilian winger Luis Henrique to Roma for around €25 million. This move could pave the way for Cristian Chivu to seek a replacement. According to Inter reporter Fabio Bergomi, Chiesa has emerged as a candidate to fill the vacancy left by Henrique.
“Chiesa could be the one who goes in place of Luis Henrique, if Luis Henrique accepts Roma, as seems to be the case,” Bergomi stated to his YouTube audience. “So I would narrow it down to Chiesa, because perhaps in the end they close Chiesa and he is plausible.”

Chiesa’s situation at Liverpool raises questions as to whether Inter will proceed to finalize the acquisition of the Euro 2020 winner, potentially rounding out a significant transfer for both clubs.
Chiesa’s Limited Impact at Liverpool
Under coach Arne Slot last season, Chiesa made only two Premier League starts, in which he did not make a strong impression. Recently, he missed training ahead of Liverpool’s season opener against Newcastle, although sources indicate this absence is due to an ongoing injury rather than his transfer status.
As the situation develops, fans will be watching closely to see if Inter will follow through and make Chiesa their next signing as they build their squad for the upcoming season.
Inter want Chiesa as a squad player
Federico Chiesa, 28, signed for the Reds back in 2024 from Juventus for an overall fee of around £12.5m. It’s been a frustrating stint on Merseyside for the Italy international – who commands a sizeable reported wage of £150k per week.

Although the winger can count himself as a Premier League title winner he has had to settle for a bit-part role at Anfield. Chiesa hasn’t apparently won over Andoni Iraola in preseason and looks set for the exit so long as Liverpool’s demands are met.
Chiesa to replace Roma-bound Luis Henrique?
Inter are set to sell Brazilian Luis Henrique to Roma for a fee of around €25m – opening the door for Cristian Chivu to sign a replacement.
And according to Inter reporter Fabio Bergomi it is Chiesa who has been identified as a potential replacement.
“Chiesa could be the one who goes in place of Luis Henrique, if Luis Henrique accepts Roma, as seems to be the case,” he tells his YouTube audience.

Chiesa fails to convince
Chiesa made only two Premier League starts under Arne Slot last season and failed to convince in either outing. He has been absent from training in the buildup to the 20-time English champions’ season opener against Newcastle.

But it’s understood that absence has nothing to do with his current transfer status and instead Chiesa has been hampered by another injury.
Let’s wait and see whether Inter come back and complete the second half of a Liverpool double deal with the acquisition of the Euro 2020 winner to join Jones.
