A move back to Juventus could offer exactly that, with the club able to provide him with consistent opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>His ability to play both out wide and through the middle makes him a valuable, flexible option. Juventus are in need of added creativity and firepower in the final third, and the Italian international could fit that brief well. He may also be available at a reasonable fee, as he is not viewed as untouchable at Liverpool, who could consider a sale if the right offer arrives.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool\u2019s stance on Chiesa<br \/>\nFrom Liverpool\u2019s perspective, attacking depth is already stretched. Alexander Isak is expected to be out for several months with a fracture, and the Reds may be reluctant to further deplete their squad midway through the season.<\/p>\n<p>While Chiesa is not a guaranteed starter, he remains a useful and reliable option, which could prompt Liverpool to keep hold of him until the summer.<\/p>\n<p>What next?<br \/>\nChiesa\u2019s familiarity with Juventus means he could slot straight back in and make an instant impact if a deal materialises. How the situation unfolds in January will be one to watch closely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juventus are weighing up a January move for Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
