Federico Chiesa’s top priority for the upcoming summer transfer window is to secure a return to Italy, as the Juventus winger looks to reignite his career ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Despite his admiration for clubs abroad — particularly Liverpool, who have shown interest in the past — Chiesa is increasingly concerned about the prospect of limited playing time in a highly competitive squad. With the next international tournament on the horizon, the Italian international wants to ensure he has a prominent role at club level to remain a key figure in Luciano Spalletti’s plans for the national team.
Although Chiesa is reportedly flattered by Liverpool’s interest and would be open to a Premier League move under different circumstances, he is prioritizing regular minutes over a high-profile switch. The winger has battled with injuries in recent seasons and knows that consistent playing time will be crucial to both his form and confidence. As such, a move back to Serie A — where he is familiar with the style of play and can more easily command a starting position — is viewed as the most strategic decision for this phase of his career.
In response to Chiesa’s openness to a domestic move, several Italian clubs have already made initial contact this week to express interest and gather information on the conditions of a potential deal. Clubs like Napoli, Roma, and Milan are reportedly monitoring the situation closely, prepared to make formal approaches should Juventus signal a willingness to negotiate. With his contract expiring in 2025, this summer could be a decisive moment for both Chiesa and Juve to determine his future — and it’s becoming increasingly likely that his next chapter will be written back in Italy.
