In a bombshell statement reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chiesa has made it clear that he sees himself as part of Liverpool’s long-term plans, shutting down talk of an immediate exit.
This comes amid heightened excitement around Liverpool’s transfer activity, including Alexander Isak’s bold claim that he, not Hugo Ekitike, should be leading the line for the Reds, as Liverpool fans clamor for further attacking reinforcements ahead of their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace.
Chiesa, who joined Liverpool from Juventus for £12.5 million in the summer of 2024, has had a frustrating first year, limited to just 14 appearances and one Premier League start due to injuries and fierce competition from Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo.
Despite his limited game time, Chiesa’s impact in key moments, such as a match-winning goal in Liverpool’s 4-2 victory over Bournemouth on August 15, 2025, has reignited belief in his potential to shine under Arne Slot. In an interview with Corriere dello Sport, Chiesa said, “The year is over. But it’s an experience I would do again. Soon I will sit down with the club, Fali [Ramadani, his agent], and my family to find the best solution. I wouldn’t mind staying in Liverpool at all.”
This statement, coupled with his emotional celebration against Bournemouth, where he pointed to the Liverpool badge and dedicated the goal to the late Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, signals his commitment to the club.
Chiesa’s agent, Fali Ramadani, further reinforced this stance in January 2025, telling 365scores, “The club has no intention of giving up on the player. Federico is staying at Liverpool and is looking for the opportunity to play in the future.”
This followed rumors of a potential loan move to Napoli or a return to Juventus, which Chiesa dismissed, stating he had “no direct contact” with any Serie A clubs. His recent performances, including a full 90-minute display in a Champions League match against PSV, have bolstered his case, with Chiesa noting, “I needed it,” highlighting his hunger for more minutes.
Liverpool’s squad is undergoing a significant transformation, with the £125 million signing of Florian Wirtz and the £79 million acquisition of Hugo Ekitike, alongside the departures of Darwin Nunez (£53 million to Al Hilal) and Luis Diaz (£65.5 million to Bayern Munich).
Alexander Isak’s comments, reported by Romano, have added fuel to the transfer fire, as the Newcastle striker declared Liverpool “the biggest club in England” and expressed his desire to join over Ekitike, with a potential £150 million move in discussion. However, Chiesa’s determination to stay suggests he could play a pivotal role in Slot’s revamped attack, especially as Liverpool aim to defend their Premier League title.
Despite Liverpool informing Chiesa in June 2025 that regular game time was not guaranteed, his recent performances and public statements have shifted the narrative. Journalist David Lynch reported that Chiesa is “very much happy at Liverpool and wanting to make this work,” emphasizing his resilience after a tough start.
Fans have embraced his attitude, with his song echoing around Anfield, and his crucial goal against Bournemouth has been hailed as a turning point. As Liverpool prepare for Crystal Palace, Chiesa’s commitment offers a boost, though Isak’s potential arrival could intensify competition. For now, Chiesa’s focus is clear: he’s ready to fight for his place and prove he’s Liverpool’s man for the job.
