Federico Chiesa remains determined to seek a move away from Liverpool this summer, even after the recent rumours of Luis Diaz appearing to open up space in the squad.
The Italian winger is eager for more consistent playing time, which he feels may be difficult to guarantee at Anfield.
Chiesa joined the Reds with high expectations but has struggled to secure a regular starting role, prompting him to explore other options ahead of the new campaign. While Liverpool value the 27-year-old, the club are aware of his desire for a fresh challenge and are not expected to stand in his way should the right offer arrive.
Despite interest from various European clubs, he continues to favour a return to Serie A, where he enjoyed his most influential spell with Juventus. Sources close to the player suggest he is prioritising a move back to Italy in order to regain rhythm and play a more central role.
No formal negotiations have been concluded yet, but talks are expected to develop in the coming weeks as Liverpool prepare for further squad reshaping and Chiesa looks to relaunch his career in familiar surroundings.
