AC Milan in indirect contact with Federico Chiesa, Atletico Madrid also keen
Liverpool attacker Federico Chiesa has been linked with a move away from the club, with AC Milan and Atletico Marid interested in securing his signature.
According to a report by Caught Offside, AC Milan have established indirect contact with Liverpool misfit Federico Chiesa, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal across the line.
The Serie A giants will face competition from Atletico Madrid as well. Both clubs would represent an excellent opportunity for the Italian international, and they could provide him with the platform to get his career back on track.
The 27-year-old has struggled for regular game time at Liverpool, and leaving them would be ideal for him. He needs to play at this stage of his career. Sitting on the bench at the English club is unlikely to benefit him. He will want to establish himself as an important player for his country for the upcoming World Cup. Regular football at AC Milan or Atletico Madrid could help him cement his place in the starting lineup for his country.
AC Milan or Atletico could be ideal destinations for Chiesa
Liverpool paid €12 million for the Italian international, and AC Milan will be hoping to sign him for a knockdown price. It will be interesting to see if they can secure his signature at a bargain. Chiesa is unwanted at the Premier League club, and they are unlikely to demand a premium for him.
The Italian international remains a quality player, and he could be an asset for AC Milan if they manage to get the deal done. The deal could look like a solid investment. Chiesa has extensive experience of Italian football, and returning to his homeland could help him get back to his best. He will be able to play in his comfort zone and regain his form and confidence.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid are among the biggest clubs in Spain, and the opportunity to join them can be quite attractive. They need more depth in the attacking unit, and the 27-year-old could be a very useful acquisition for the right price. It will be interesting to see where the Liverpool attacker ends up eventually.
