Chiesa left out of Liverpool pre-season as Serie A return beckons

While Liverpool remain tight-lipped about the decision, sources close to the player suggest that a move back to Italy is now his priority.

Chiesa, who has shown flashes of brilliance during his time at Anfield, is believed to be frustrated by a lack of consistent game time under Arne Slot.

Despite his admiration for the club and strong relationship with the fans, the 27-year-old is understood to be exploring options that would offer him a more prominent role.

Several Serie A clubs have already made initial contact to understand the conditions of a potential deal, though no formal offers have been tabled yet. With the player's willingness to return to Italy now clear, interest is expected to intensify in the coming days.
