Inter Milan could reportedly have an advantage in the battle for Federico Chiesa who is enduring torrid times at Liverpool.
The Italy international found himself an outcast at Juventus following Thiago Motta’s arrival last summer.
After a long summer filled with speculations over his future, he ended up signing for the Reds.
The Premier League giants felt they struck a bargain by buying the 27-year-old for 12 million euros, taking full advantage of his expiring contract with the Bianconeri.
Nevertheless, the Euro 2020 winner has yet to make his mark at Anfield road. He only made a single cameo in the Premier League, and another one in the Champions League.
So between injury problems and tough competition for starting spots, Chiesa’s adventure in England has yet to take off, and some believe the two parties could decide to split paths sooner rather than later.
Earlier today, we reported Inter’s rekindled interest in the former Fiorentina and Juventus star.
But according to Il Giorno via FcInterNews, the Nerazzurri will be facing stern competition for the player’s services.
The report claims AC Milan, Roma and Napoli are also monitoring the situation closely. Like Inter, these clubs were also linked with the player last summer, but all fell short in the race.
Inter Milan Counting On Good Relations With Liverpool To Secure Federico Chiesa Deal
Nevertheless, the source believes the Italian champions could have a sizable advantage in the battle for Chiesa’s signature.
Il Giorno reveals that Inter share an excellent relationship with the Liverpool hierarchy.
Hence, Beppe Marotta and Co. will attempt to bank on this rapport to secure an agreement with the Premier League leaders.
Since we’re in the middle of the season, Inter would likely propose an initial loan deal in January with the option to buy the player at the end of the campaign.
Nevertheless, Chiesa would have to accept a pay cut to push the deal through.
