He admits: “Even if I am confused, I’ve just made the most shocking decision of my life… Some will see it as good, others won’t be happy.”

 

In a bombshell statement reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chiesa has expressed clearly that he views himself as part of Liverpool’s long-term strategy, putting an end to speculation about an immediate departure.

 

This comes amid growing excitement about Liverpool’s transfer dealings, including Alexander Isak’s bold claim that he, not Hugo Ekitike, should be leading Liverpool’s attack, as fans eagerly demand more offensive signings before their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace.

 

Chiesa, who moved to Liverpool from Juventus for £12.5 million in summer 2024, has endured a difficult first season, managing only 14 appearances and a single Premier League start due to injuries and strong competition from Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo.

 

Although his playing time has been limited, Chiesa has made a difference in crucial moments, such as scoring the winning goal in Liverpool’s 4-2 victory over Bournemouth on August 15, 2025, rekindling hope in his potential under Arne Slot. In an interview with Corriere dello Sport, Chiesa remarked, “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 declaration, alongside his emotional celebration after scoring against Bournemouth—where he gestured to the Liverpool badge and dedicated the goal to the late Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva—demonstrates his dedication to the club.

 

Chiesa’s agent, Fali Ramadani, echoed this position 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 statement came after speculation about a possible loan to Napoli or a Juventus return, which Chiesa denied by saying he had “no direct contact” with any Serie A teams. His recent performances, including completing a full 90 minutes in a Champions League game against PSV, have strengthened his case, with Chiesa commenting, “I needed it,” emphasizing his eagerness for more playing time.

 

Liverpool’s squad is undergoing major changes, marked by the £125 million signing of Florian Wirtz and the £79 million purchase 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 remarks, reported by Romano, have intensified the transfer buzz, as the Newcastle striker called Liverpool “the biggest club in England” and expressed his wish to join over Ekitike, with a potential £150 million deal being discussed. However, Chiesa’s resolve to stay indicates he may have an important role in Slot’s redesigned attack, especially as Liverpool look to defend their Premier League crown.

 

Even though Liverpool informed Chiesa in June 2025 that consistent playing time wasn’t assured, his recent displays and public comments have changed the conversation. Journalist David Lynch stated that Chiesa is “very much happy at Liverpool and wanting to make this work,” highlighting his determination after a challenging beginning.

 

Supporters have welcomed his mindset, with his chant filling Anfield, and his vital goal against Bournemouth seen as a key moment. As Liverpool gear up for Crystal Palace, Chiesa’s commitment provides encouragement, though Isak’s possible signing could increase competition. For now, Chiesa’s objective is evident: he is prepared to fight for his spot and prove he is Liverpool’s man for the role.
