Liverpool not planning to sell Chiesa in January

Federico Chiesa’s future at Liverpool has come under speculation recently, with several reports suggesting the Italian winger could be sold in the upcoming January transfer window.

Chiesa, who joined the Reds from Juventus over the summer, has struggled to make an impact on the pitch due to a persistent tendon injury that has limited him to just four appearances this season.

This has led to growing rumours that the club might be open to parting ways with the 26-year-old if a suitable offer arrives in January. However, according to reports, Liverpool have no intention of selling Chiesa in the winter window.

Instead, the club are reportedly committed to allowing the winger time to fully recover from his injury and reach the peak of his potential. Liverpool’s board believe that once he is fit, the Italian can be a vital asset for Arne Slot's side, offering the pace and creativity that made him a standout player at Juventus before his move to Merseyside.

Liverpool’s medical team is working diligently with Chiesa, focusing on a careful rehabilitation process to ensure he returns to full fitness. Slot is understood to be patient and is eager to integrate Chiesa into the squad when he is ready, confident that he can play an important role in the second half of the campaign.
