Arne Slot ecently responded to rumours surrounding Federico Chiesa’s possible loan move in the upcoming transfer window. Despite Chiesa’s challenging start at Anfield, Slot has expressed his confidence in the Italian forward’s future, reaffirming his commitment to integrating him into Liverpool’s plans.
Arne Slot dismissed the idea of a temporary departure for Federico Chiesa, stating that it hadn’t even crossed his mind. The Italian international, who joined from Juventus in the summer, has faced a tough start in the Premier League, with limited appearances contributing to his frustrations. Reports from Italian outlet Calciomercato have speculated about a possible return to Italy, but Slot remains focused on a long-term plan centred around Chiesa’s full recovery and adaptation to Liverpool’s dynamic style of play.

Slot described Chiesa’s fitness regime as somewhat inconsistent, a challenge made harder by his incomplete pre-season due to past commitments and conflicts at Juventus. This rocky beginning has led to irregular appearances for Chiesa, with his standout performance coming in Liverpool’s 5-1 Carabao Cup victory over West Ham.
Arne Slot remains optimistic for Chiesa’s recovery
“It hasn’t gone through my mind at all,”
“It’s difficult to say, he’s sometimes up and down a bit. He trains a few days then goes out again. I don’t want to put days or weeks on it,”
“We just want him to be in the best possible shape. No pressure on him,”
“It hasn’t been perfect yet so we are trying to find the right way to build him up and I’m fully confident that will happen,”
