According to TBR Football, Liverpool manager Arne Slot has faith in the struggling Italian international, and therefore, they are likely to hold onto him next season as well.
Chiesa joined Liverpool for a fee of around £11 million, and he was expected to establish himself as a useful player for the club. He has struggled for regular game time, and it remains to be seen whether he can hold down a regular starting spot next season.
There is no doubt that he is a technically gifted attacker who has the quality to do well in English football. He has proven himself in Italy in the past. He has shown his quality at Liverpool during his cameos, but he will need a sustained run on the side to establish himself as a player for the club.
The Italian will be desperate to showcase his qualities in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether he can improve during pre-season and convince the Liverpool manager to give him more opportunities next season. The player has been linked with a return to Italy as well. It remains to be seen whether any club is willing to come forward with an offer to sign him in the summer. He could be available for a reasonable amount of money.
Liverpool need more depth in the wide areas, and the decision to hold onto Chiesa could prove to be a wise one. They have been overly dependent on Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah. They need more quality at their disposal, and if they manage to get the best out of the Italian international, they will have more quality in the attacking unit next season.
Liverpool will not want to spend on a wide player this summer. They are likely to focus on a centre forward instead. Therefore, keeping Chiesa at the club and getting the best out of him would be ideal for all parties.
