Atletico Madrid has identified Atlético de Madrid as the preferred alternative to Federico Chiesa, a 28-year-old forward from Liverpool, for their attack in case the departure of Julián Álvarez materializes. The Italian has a contract until 2028, and his future at Anfield remains uncertain during this final phase of the transfer window.

Álvarez's situation continues to influence Atletico's moves. The Argentine has expressed his desire to switch teams, but Atletico remains firm and has set a valuation of up to 150 million euros to consider his departure.

Atletico Madrid Considers Federico Chiesa

Federico Chiesa emerges as one of the options the Madrid club is considering to respond to a potential exit of their forward. The Italian international can play on either wing and also in more central positions near the goal area.

His situation at Liverpool makes his name available in the market. Chiesa is under contract until June 30, 2028, but during the 2025/26 season, he only amassed 339 minutes in 26 Premier League appearances, scoring two goals and providing one assist.

The forward moved to England in the summer of 2024 from Juventus for approximately 12 million euros. His current market value is around 13 million, significantly less than what would be required to replace Álvarez with other forwards from the market.

Liverpool also faces the final stretch of the transfer window with several players potentially leaving. Chiesa is among the names being considered, opening up a possible path for Atletico Madrid.

Julián Álvarez Continues to Drive Atletico's Market

The entire operation depends on Julián Álvarez. The 26-year-old forward remains an Atletico player despite expressing his desire to leave the club this summer and showing a preference for a change of scenery.

Atletico had set June 20 as the deadline to receive an offer of 150 million euros for the Argentine. As that scenario did not lead to his sale, the club has maintained a firm stance on his continuity.

However, his future continues to generate movements. Arsenal has shown interest in recent days, while Atletico aims to avoid a deal that directly strengthens a LaLiga rival.

Álvarez has scored 49 goals in 106 matches since his arrival from Manchester City in 2024 for around 75 million euros. His goal-scoring record explains why any potential departure would require the sports management to have an alternative ready.

Liverpool May Open the Door to Negotiation

Chiesa's contract until 2028 obliges Atletico Madrid to negotiate directly with Liverpool. His limited role in the past season, combined with the movements planned by the English side in their squad, could favor an exit before the market closes.

The operation will be pending on what happens with Julián Álvarez. If the Argentine ends up leaving, Atletico Madrid will need to react quickly, with Chiesa being one of the identified alternatives to cover his absence.
