Federico Chiesa is back on Roma's transfer list, with Liverpool reportedly ready to let the 29-year-old Italian winger go for around €15 million as the winter window approaches. Chiesa is continuing to find very little space at Liverpool under head coach Andoni Iraola, which has led to speculation about a move back to Serie A.
Roma, under Gian Piero Gasperini, are reportedly among the clubs interested as they look for attacking reinforcements in January. The competition is expected to be strong, with Inter, Milan, Lazio and Atalanta also said to be tracking the former Juventus player. Inter have reportedly already held some exploratory contacts, but no agreement has been reached. For now, the reports speak of interest and sounding-out rather than advanced negotiations.
For Chiesa, a return to Italy would represent a chance to revive his career after an English spell in which he never managed to establish himself as a key player. His experience and profile could offer Gasperini an important alternative on the wide attacking positions. The financial terms of any deal still need to be assessed, starting with the player's high salary, as well as the competition from other Italian clubs. Roma are watching the situation and waiting to see whether the opportunity can become a concrete possibility.

Liverpool are reportedly willing to sell Federico Chiesa for €15 million, according to the German portal Fussball-news.de, with Roma among the clubs tracking the winger. The former Juventus forward has reportedly seen his playing time shrink under coach Iraola, and Liverpool could move him as early as January. Atalanta, Lazio and Milan are also named as interested. GialloRossi.net adds Inter to the list, noting that the Nerazzurri have held initial contacts but reached no agreement.
The outlets differ on Roma's position. Roma News and GialloRossi.net describe the Giallorossi as actively looking for attacking reinforcements under Gian Piero Gasperini, with GialloRossi.net characterising the situation as sounding-out rather than advanced negotiations. Forza Roma takes a more cautious view, reporting that Chiesa turned Roma down a year ago while still at Juventus and that Gasperini currently shows no interest in him. On that account, any move would first have to satisfy the coach.
GialloRossi.net also points to the obstacles, including the player's high salary and competition from other Italian clubs. It suggests a return to Serie A could revive a career that never fully took off in England. Forza Roma notes that its report rests on Fussball-news.de's claims and that Chiesa's name has long circulated in Roman transfer talk, so the situation remains far from a concrete deal.
