It looks like Federico Chiesa has flipped the script on his Liverpool future. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the Italian forward, who was once keen on leaving Anfield, now intends to stay and fight for his place.
Just a couple of months ago, Chiesa was reportedly eyeing a return to Serie A after a frustrating debut campaign with limited minutes. His omission from Liverpool’s pre-season tour of Asia and the departure rumours swirling around him only strengthened speculation of an early exit.
But everything changed after Luis Díaz’s switch to Bayern Munich opened the door for more opportunities. Chiesa was brought off the bench in the Reds’ Premier League opener against Bournemouth and made an instant impact — scoring a late winner in front of the Kop, a goal he passionately dedicated to new boss Arne Slot.
Romano shared on X that both Chiesa and his representatives have now communicated a clear desire to remain at Anfield, describing this moment as the beginning of a “new chapter” for the 27-year-old attacker.
While competition remains fierce with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Hugo Ekitike all firing, Chiesa’s decisive strike has already given him a major confidence boost. His situation mirrors Ryan Gravenberch, who endured a slow first season but eventually grew into an indispensable figure for the team.
Patience will still be required, but with his determination to stay and the backing of the fans who sang his name loud and proud on Friday night, Chiesa’s Anfield journey may be about to take off in style. 🚀🔥
