UEFA Champions League
Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Federico Chiesa, the Italian forward from Liverpool who has failed to find his place at Anfield this season. The English club, recent Premier League champions, is willing to let him go this summer after a disappointing season where the player has only accumulated 466 minutes in 14 official matches.
Injuries and tough internal competition limited his impact at Arne Slot's team. Despite this, Chiesa showed glimpses of his quality with two goals and two assists, which were not enough to secure a spot in the starting eleven. With a contract until 2028 and an estimated value of 14 million euros, his high salary is the main obstacle to his departure.
Chiesa aims to regain the limelight away from Anfield
As reported by the newspaper AS, the Atlético de Madrid sports management closely monitors the situation of the Italian international, who is seeking a team where he can once again feel important and secure his place in the 2026 World Cup with the Azzurri national team. The potential departure of Ángel Correa from the club this summer, despite having a contract until 2026, has opened the door to the arrival of a new forward, and Chiesa fits perfectly into that profile.
Fast, vertical, and with a knack for scoring, Federico Chiesa can play in various positions in the attacking line. He has excelled as a left winger at Fiorentina and Juventus, and has even performed well as a second striker. At 27 years old, he is looking to regain the limelight. The Atlético could be his new stage.
