Liverpool star Federico Chiesa is attracting interest from six top clubs, including AC Milan, Atalanta, Inter Milan, Napoli, Roma, and Fulham. Chiesa’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain after he scored a crucial late goal in the Reds’ 4-2 opening day win over Bournemouth. However, sources suggest that Chiesa might leave Anfield before the transfer deadline.
Potential Transfer to Newcastle
Interestingly, Chiesa could be offered to Newcastle United as part of a deal for Alexander Isak. Liverpool has been linked with Isak, and internal discussions have taken place about including Chiesa in the negotiations. Newcastle might find Chiesa an attractive addition, especially after strengthening their attack with the signing of Anthony Elanga. Despite Chiesa’s struggles for playing time under Arne Slot, he’s still highly regarded in Italy, which could make him a valuable asset in potential negotiations ¹.
Possible Players Liverpool Could Offer Newcastle
If Liverpool decides to pursue Isak, they might offer other players as part of the deal. Some potential candidates include:
– Joe Gomez: A versatile defender who can play in multiple positions. Newcastle considered signing him last summer, and he could be a valuable addition to their squad.
– Jarell Quansah: A young defender who was previously touted as a potential makeweight in a deal for Anthony Gordon. Quansah could be an attractive option for Newcastle, especially if they’re looking to strengthen their defense.
– Harvey Elliott: A talented young winger who has been linked with a move away from Liverpool. Elliott could be a great fit for Newcastle’s attacking lineup.
– Darwin Nunez: The Uruguayan striker has struggled for consistency at Liverpool, and including him in a deal for Isak could be a way for the Reds to sweeten the offer.
Chiesa’s Situation at Liverpool
Despite the interest from other clubs, Chiesa himself is not desperate to leave Liverpool. Arne Slot has not found much room for him so far, but Chiesa will likely still have a role as a squad player or backup. The situation remains open, and it will be one to keep an eye on towards the end of the window ¹.
