Inter Milan Eyes Loan Deal for Chiesa

Federico Chiesa, who joined Liverpool from Juventus in a deal potentially worth £12 million, has struggled to find playing time, with only 78 minutes on the pitch since his arrival. Inter Milan is reportedly leading the charge to secure a six-month loan deal for Chiesa in January, hoping to aid his recovery and increase his match fitness. The Italian winger's lack of game time has been attributed to missing pre-season preparations, which has hindered his ability to adapt to the Premier League's intensity, according to Liverpool's coach Arne Slot. Other Serie A clubs, including Roma and Milan, have also shown interest, but would need Liverpool to contribute to his salary, which stands at €7.5 million annually. Inter's President Beppe Marotta is keen on bringing Chiesa back to Italy, leveraging previous relationships with his representatives. Chiesa has faced ongoing fitness issues throughout his career, which may have contributed to his limited impact at Liverpool.
