The Italy international has struggled to show his best form during his time at Anfield, and it is understandable that there are now increasing rumors that he may return to Serie A.
Chiesa was a key player at former club Juventus and one imagines he could also strengthen Napoli if given the chance to play there more often.
The 28-year-old has only played one Premier League game for Liverpool all season, so he will certainly be tempted by offers coming his way in the near future.
Antonio Conte uses key connection to complete Federico Chiesa transfer
According to Italian journalist Emanuele Cammaroto, speaking to Radio Punto Zero, Conte has made a personal move to lure Chiesa to Napoli.
“Chiesa? Conte made a personal move,” Cammaroto said Sports witness.
“Juventus are very fond of their former player, but Napoli have an excellent relationship with Federico and his father Enrico.”
It will be interesting to see if this certainly leads to a transfer, but it is also easy to see why this could appeal to Chiesa after his difficult spell at Liverpool.
Liverpool could take the risk of letting Chiesa go
Even if LFC clearly don’t use Chiesa often, they aren’t exactly in the best position at the moment, so they might do well to keep hold of him for the squad’s added depth.
Arne Slot had all three of Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike out in Thursday night’s match against Arsenal, so Chiesa may be needed at some point.
Salah is currently playing at AFCON, while Isak and Ekitike are injured. So one or two injuries could cause major problems for Liverpool and make them dependent on Chiesa to fill in.
