Inter Milan, Napoli, and Atalanta have been rumored to be interested in taking Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa on loan for the second half of the 24/25 season. 

The Italian winger has had a tough transition to the Premier League since his £12 million move from Juventus and has only made four appearances across all competitions for Liverpool.

Most of Chiesa’s time in England has been spent building up his fitness so that he can be available for the squad.
