Federico Chiesa has made his intentions clear — he wants to return to Juventus as soon as possible. The Italian winger, currently at Liverpool, is pushing to complete a move back to Turin, with both clubs now in contact to explore a deal.
IlBianconero report that Juventus have recently grown more confident that Chiesa is the right player to reinforce Luciano Spalletti’s squad immediately. For his part, the 28-year-old has left no doubt about his desire to don the black and white shirt again. The pull of returning home, reuniting with familiar faces, and reigniting a story that ended on uncertain terms has only strengthened his determination.
Chiesa Wants a Swift Reunion
As he often does on the pitch, Chiesa is eager to move quickly off it too. He wants the deal wrapped up and a prompt return to Juventus, ideally before the end of January. The influence of Giorgio Chiellini, his former captain, and Spalletti, his former Italy coach, has reportedly played a significant role in convincing him that this is the right time to come back.
Chiesa views a second spell at Juventus as a fresh start after a difficult couple of years marked by injuries and inconsistent form. Despite leaving the club in circumstances that caused disappointment, his connection with Juventus and their supporters has never truly faded.
The Situation at Liverpool
Although the winger’s mind is set on a return to Italy, he remains professional and respected within the Liverpool dressing room. Fans have taken to him warmly, even though his playing time under Jürgen Klopp has been limited. For this reason, Chiesa does not intend to create tensions or force an exit. Liverpool, aware of the player’s wishes, are open to discussing a move but won’t let him leave on loan or at a discount.
Negotiations Underway
Talks between Juventus and Liverpool have been ongoing for several days, with cautious optimism from both sides. Juventus have made their interest official, while Liverpool are evaluating how the transfer could fit within their plans — particularly with Mohamed Salah currently away at the Africa Cup of Nations. The outcome could depend on whether Salah reaffirms his intention to remain at Anfield for the rest of the season.
