Liverpool may look to move on from Federico Chiesa in January, with Antoine Semenyo emerging as a potential replacement.<\/p>\n
Chiesa\u2019s future has become a major talking point after a strong start to the campaign failed to translate into consistent minutes under Arne Slot. The 28-year-old has struggled for game time, drawing interest from several Serie A clubs.<\/p>\n
Liverpool open to selling Chiesa
\nPer Pete O\u2019Rourke of Football Insider, Liverpool could decide to cash in on the Italian winger amid growing interest from his home country. However, the Reds will only approve his exit once a suitable replacement is lined up, and Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo is currently at the top of their list.<\/p>\n
Chiesa turned down a summer exit after a difficult season, choosing instead to fight for a place under Slot. But despite a few bright early performances, he has remained on the fringes, playing just 380 minutes across 14 appearances.<\/p>\n
Slot does not fully trust Chiesa
\nWith only two starts\u2014both in the EFL Cup\u2014Chiesa has clearly not become a key part of Slot\u2019s plans. O\u2019Rourke noted that the manager doesn\u2019t seem to trust him to lead the attack despite some fans calling for him to be given more opportunities.<\/p>\n
According to O’Rourke:<\/p>\n
Chiesa has mainly been used off the bench.<\/p>\n
Slot appears unwilling to give him a consistent run of games.<\/p>\n
A departure is likely if Liverpool secure Semenyo or another replacement.<\/p>\n
Could Chiesa leave in January?
\nItalian clubs are expected to make approaches in the winter window. While Chiesa is settled at Anfield, a move could boost his chances of making Italy\u2019s World Cup squad.<\/p>\n
Liverpool would consider selling him for the right offer, but only after securing a new attacking option. The club admire Semenyo, and if they reignite their interest, the door could open for Chiesa\u2019s exit.<\/p>\n
