Liverpool's Federico Chiesa Faces Loan Interest from Celtic, Napoli, Premier League Clubs

Federico Chiesa is at the center of significant transfer speculation as he seeks more playing time ahead of the World Cup, with Liverpool viewing him as surplus to requirements following new signings and a coaching strategy that limits his opportunities. Celtic have expressed interest in a loan move for Chiesa, aiming to bolster their wing options after recent departures and injuries, although they face stiff competition from Serie A champions Napoli and Premier League clubs such as Fulham. Napoli, alongside targeting Chelsea's Raheem Sterling and Manchester City's Jack Grealish, sees Chiesa as a more budget-friendly option and has reignited their interest amid their search for wide players. Additionally, a Premier League club, reportedly Fulham, is also in the mix for a loan deal, complicating Celtic's chances given financial disparities and the allure of Champions League football. Alongside this, West Ham are leading the race to sign former Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill on a free transfer, with Celtic also interested but unlikely to match West Ham's financial offer. Celtic continue to be active in the transfer market, including interest in other players like Kassoum Ouattara and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, while managing loan moves for current squad members.
