Liverpool has received a transfer approach from Turkish side Besiktas, who are “prepared to invest” in the club’s players. According to Fabrizio Romano, Besiktas has been scouting Liverpool’s squad and has shown interest in signing Federico Chiesa, a forward who has struggled to find his footing under new manager Arne Slot.

Besiktas’ Interest in Chiesa

Besiktas has reportedly tested the waters for Chiesa, aiming to understand his situation at Liverpool and potential availability. Romano revealed that Liverpool is not considering letting Chiesa go on loan, and negotiations are not advanced. If Chiesa were to join Besiktas, it would likely be through a permanent transfer.

Chiesa’s Situation at Liverpool

Chiesa’s future at Liverpool appears uncertain, with the player having only one Premier League start to his name. His contract runs until 2028, but he might consider his options in January if he wants to rescue his chances of playing in the World Cup. With Besiktas’ interest, Chiesa could potentially find more playing time and revive his career.

Besiktas’ Ambitions

Besiktas has been active in the transfer market, looking to strengthen their squad after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the appointment of new manager Sergen Yalcin. They have also recently released former Liverpool player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. With Tammy Abraham as their new striker, Besiktas aims to bolster their attacking lineup, and Chiesa’s signing could help create chances for the ex-England international.

Potential Implications for Liverpool

While Chiesa’s departure might not significantly impact Liverpool’s current squad dynamics, the club’s interest in other players could lead to further transfers. Liverpool has already made significant signings, including Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, and continues to explore options to strengthen their lineup ¹.
