Federico Chiesa and Juventus: Could a Return Happen?

Federico Chiesa’s name is once again being linked with a potential return to Juventus. The Italian winger, who joined Liverpool in the summer of 2024, has struggled for regular playing time in the Premier League, prompting speculation that a move back to Italy could be on the cards. IlBianconero report that, for Juventus, the idea of bringing him back is not a pressing priority — but it isn’t being dismissed either.

From Turin to Merseyside

Chiesa left Juventus in search of a new challenge, eager to test himself in English football. His time at Liverpool, however, has been mixed. Under Arne Slot, the 28-year-old has found it difficult to secure a place in the starting eleven, often being used as an impact player from the bench rather than a consistent presence on the wing.

Limited Space at Liverpool

Currently, Chiesa is considered more of a rotation option than a regular starter at Anfield. His average playing time in the Premier League has dipped from about 25 minutes per match in early December to around 19 minutes now. Despite this, Slot has publicly praised his commitment and professionalism, underlining his importance to the squad as a reliable alternative in attack.

Juventus’ Position: A Considered Possibility

In Turin, Chiesa’s situation has not gone unnoticed. Juventus are actively assessing options for the second half of the season, particularly a potential deputy to rising star Kenan Yildiz. Chiesa’s familiarity with the club, Serie A, and Spalletti’s tactical ideas make him an appealing fit for that role should the opportunity arise.

While no discussions are currently in motion, the Bianconeri are keeping an open mind. A return for Chiesa is far from certain — but it remains a scenario that could gather pace if the conditions align and Liverpool are willing to negotiate.
