In recent weeks, Napoli have emerged as a key candidate to land Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa.
Gazzetta dello Sport had reported the Italian giants have already made an initial loan move for the winger and are pushing to close a deal. At that stage it was explained whilst Napoli had offered a loan with an option to buy, Liverpool wanted that to be an obligation.
Il Mattino today add more detail to Napoli’s interest in the Liverpool outcast, who has played only six times in the Premier League this season.
The Naples newspaper report sporting director Giovanni Manna made first contact about signing Chiesa in May and is working to make a summer move possible.
The Italian is prepared to take a wage-cut to join Napoli and had come close to joining Antonio Conte’s side on loan in January as well, but a winter exit was blocked by the Premier League club.
Gazzetta dello Sport have previously indicated that Chiesa would be interested in joining Napoli as it will give him a chance to impress in Serie A and then play for Italy at the World Cup in 2026.
