Como looking to loan Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa
Serie A side Como are reportedly interested in securing Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa in the upcoming January transfer window.
The Italian winger, who joined Liverpool with high expectations, has struggled to make a lasting impact at Anfield and is now drawing attention from Italian clubs eager to bring him back to his home league. Como sees an opportunity to sign Chiesa on loan, hoping that regular playing time will reinvigorate the talented attacker’s career. AC Milan has also shown interest in a loan move, adding another layer of intrigue to Chiesa’s potential return to Serie A.
Chiesa arrived at Liverpool with a reputation as a dynamic and skillful player, celebrated for his speed, dribbling, and strong technique. Known for his hard-working attitude and versatility, he primarily operates as a left winger, where he can cut inside to create goal-scoring opportunities and deliver powerful shots with his dominant right foot. Despite being right-footed, he has a commendable ability to strike with his left as well, which makes him adaptable on either wing. Chiesa’s playing style, combining agility, stamina, and creativity, was expected to thrive in Liverpool’s high-paced, intense system.
However, the transition to the Premier League has not gone as smoothly as anticipated. Chiesa has managed only three appearances for Liverpool, providing one assist in limited time on the field. Arne Slot, Liverpool’s head coach, has publicly stated his expectations for Chiesa to adapt better to the team’s playing style, emphasizing that the Italian needs to refine specific areas of his game. Nevertheless, Chiesa has expressed dissatisfaction with his situation and reportedly wants more frequent opportunities to showcase his talent.

Despite his current challenges, Chiesa’s skill and potential are undeniable, as evidenced by his impressive international record. With 51 caps for Italy and seven goals, Chiesa has consistently contributed to the national team’s success and demonstrated his capacity to perform on the big stage. His experience in Serie A, along with his international performances, makes him an appealing prospect for Italian club Como, they believe a return to Italy could reignite his form.
While a permanent transfer would be challenging due to Chiesa’s contract and wage demands, a loan deal appears feasible and would allow Chiesa to regain his form in a familiar environment. Como are monitoring the situation closely, and may consider a loan move, seeing an opportunity to bring in a skilled winger who could strengthen their offensive lineup.
As the January transfer window approaches, the spotlight will be on Chiesa’s future. A loan move to Serie A would provide him with the chance to re-establish himself as a valuable contributor and potentially make his way back into regular competition. For Como, bringing in a player of Chiesa’s caliber—even on a temporary basis—would be a significant boost as they aim to climb the Serie A standings.
