Federico Chiesa still has intentions to leave Liverpool this summer after playing a bit-part role in his debut season, as the overhaul of Arne Slot‘s forward line continues.The Italian was left out of the travelling squad for the two-stop pre-season tour of Asia, with what the club described as a fitness issue – though many assumed it was due to an expected transfer.There have since been no major developments with Chiesa, who came off the bench in the 3-2 win over Athletic Club on Monday for his third outing of pre-season.He has been linked to clubs in his native Italy, including from Atalanta, who will need to replace Ademola Lookman if he moves to Inter Milan.There remains hope within the supporter base that Chiesa will remain at Anfield, though the Times‘ Paul Joyce has since reiterated the 27-year-old is “looking to leave.”The context behind Joyce’s statement came as part of a report on Darwin Nunez edging closer to a move to Al-Hilal, in what would be a continued overhaul of Arne Slot‘s squad, with Harvey Elliott mentioned in the same breath.It would be a significant shake-up for the Premier League champions, who have seen Luis Diaz join Bayern Munich and continue to grieve the tragic death of Diogo Jota.With Nunez, Ben Doak and Elliott all in the frame for a departure, Chiesa’s exit would further reduce Liverpool’s options even if Alexander Isak is still being pursued.The Italian quickly became a popular member of the squad and remained committed despite his peripheral role, and in early June he insisted he “wouldn’t mind staying.” “The year is over. But it’s an experience I would do again,” the 27-year-old said. “Soon I will sit down at the table with the club, Fali (Ramadani, his agent) and my family to find the best solution.“I wouldn’t mind staying in Liverpool at all.”There is a lot at play for Chiesa, who has been told in no uncertain terms that he needs to be playing regularly if he intends on earning his place in Gennaro Gattuso’s Italy squad ahead of the World Cup.
