Liverpool’s Chiesa Draws Transfer Interest from Atletico

Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa, who joined from Juventus, has had limited impact with only 14 appearances and one Premier League start, leading to speculation about his future at the club. Manager Arne Slot has stated that Chiesa could remain if he returns fully fit, but Liverpool is reportedly open to selling or loaning him, with Atletico Madrid and Napoli expressing interest. Chiesa himself is focused on Liverpool's pre-season and hopes to represent Italy at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, though a return to Serie A remains an option. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, is seeking a new midfielder but has encountered difficulties negotiating for Real Betis' Johnny Cardoso due to Betis' high asking price. As a result, Atletico is considering alternative transfer targets, including Chiesa. The summer transfer window reflects complex negotiations and shifting priorities among Europe's top clubs.
