Striker Federico Chiesa insists he is only thinking about Liverpool amid rumors regarding his future. In two seasons at Anfield under coach Arne Slot, Chiesa has only appeared in one Premier League match and scored five goals in 50 appearances in all competitions. The 28-year-old joined Liverpool from Juventus for a fee of £12.5 million in 2024 and his contract runs until 2028. Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport in June, Chiesa said: "If I don't find stability in the Premier League, I will have to look elsewhere."
However, after scoring in his first friendly match under coach Andoni Iraola, when Liverpool beat Sunderland 4-2, Chiesa told reporters: "At the moment, I'm very happy at Liverpool. I love the club, I love the fans, I love everything. I'm trying my best to get a chance here - and then we'll see. Right now, the only thing I'm thinking about is Liverpool."
When asked if this is a new start under coach Iraola - who was appointed in June after Slot was fired - Chiesa said: "I don't know - it's hard to say. There is always a new start at the beginning of the year. Maybe there have been too many new starts. But I don't care, I'm trying to do the best for this new coach. Last season under Arne Slot, I also tried my best. Last year, I felt ready. Ready for a bigger role, but it depends on the coach whether he wants me to play or not. Of course, I want to play more, but it is what it is. He has his own plans, he has made his decision, it's football this year, let's say it's a new chapter.
What happens next
With Chiesa expressing happiness at Liverpool, fans will be eager to see if he can translate his positive mindset into consistent performances in the Premier League. The upcoming matches will be critical for him to secure a more prominent role in the squad. If he continues to impress, it could lead to a pivotal season for both Chiesa and Liverpool as they aim for success in the league.
