JAKARTA - Federico Chiesa went through a disappointing first season at the liverpool but insisted he was happy to be at Liverpool.
"The season is over. But this is an experience I want to repeat. In the near future I will be sitting with the club, Fali (Ramadani, his agent), and my family to find the best solution. I have absolutely no objection to staying at Liverpool," Chiesa said, via Corriere dello Sport, reported by ANTARA, Saturday, June 7.
The Italian striker moved to Merseyside from Juventus for a transfer fee of 10 million pounds (IDR 220 billion) last summer. But he struggled to get the chance to play in the first team.
He only scored two goals from 14 appearances and only started in the Premier League once, namely in the last second match of the 2024/2025 season when the league title was secured.
Chiesa is the sixth choice in Liverpool's attack under manager Arne Slot. The Dutch manager now plans to strengthen the Reds front line in this summer's transfer window.
