Federico Chiesa Decides on Liverpool Pre-Season

Federico Chiesa intends to participate in Liverpool's pre-season. The Italian will join the club's tour of the US next month.

Federico Chiesa has played only 1,253 minutes across two seasons at Anfield.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano stated Chiesa's decision to participate in pre-season is to "get together with the new coach Andoni Iraola" and "play his cards".

Talks will take place with Iraola and Co. as squad planning continues. Chiesa has voiced a desire for regular minutes, which may not be guaranteed under the new coach.

Andoni Iraola's plans for the wings do not include Federico Chiesa, according to a recent report.

Chiesa has the versatility to play several positions across the forward line.

Liverpool currently have six forward options, including Chiesa and Hugo Ekitike, who is expected to be sidelined until 2027.

Romano name-checked Juventus, Inter, Napoli, and Roma as potential suitors for the 28-year-old.

A return to Italy is widely expected, but only later in the window.

Federico Chiesa will push for the exit if game time cannot be promised.

Liverpool are actively pursuing Yan Diomande, but even if he arrives, Iraola would still need to keep his options fit.

The club's pre-season tour of the US will be an opportunity for Chiesa to impress the new coach.

Federico Chiesa's future at Liverpool remains uncertain, with a decision expected later in the summer.
