Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa is a target for a January exit, with Serie A clubs Inter Milan, Lazio and Atalanta all interested in the 28-year-old. The Italian international is reportedly prepared to depart Anfield when the transfer window reopens.
Calciomercato said: "Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa is on the radar of a trio of Serie A clubs, with the Italian forward ready to leave Anfield in January." This potential departure comes as Liverpool sit sixth in the Premier League with nine points from five games, building a two-match winning run ahead of a key home fixture against leaders Manchester City on 11 October.
Squad implications
Chiesa's potential exit highlights the ongoing evolution of Liverpool's attacking options. The club are also reported to be monitoring Brighton's Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma, 29, who is out of contract next summer. Mitoma is seen as a possible January target alongside Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile, Barcelona's Dani Olmo is not seeking a move despite links to other clubs, and young Mexican midfielder Gilberto Mora would reportedly prefer a move to Spain over Liverpool.
Liverpool's current form, which includes a 1-0 win at Bournemouth and a 3-1 victory over Tottenham, provides a solid platform for this period of squad assessment. Alexander Isak leads the scoring charts with four goals this season. The club's full squad list and upcoming fixtures, headlined by the Manchester City clash, will be key areas of focus for supporters tracking these developments. Any move for Chiesa would be part of broader planning for the second half of the season.
