Ln an unexpected turn in the transfer market, Napoli have started discussions with Liverpool for a possible loan of Federico Chiesa for a period of six months. According to information relayed by Footmercatothe Partenopeo club is banking on the Italian striker, looking for a revival after a delicate period in England.
Conte supports loan
This Napoli initiative is rooted in the recommendations of coach Luciano Spalletti, who sees the return to Italy as a concrete chance for Chiesa to regain his confidence on the pitch. “The objective is a rebirth,” said a source close to the negotiations. However, factors such as the large remuneration of around 7.5 million euros net per season pose a significant obstacle.
Perspectives pour Liverpool
In recent hours, encouraging signs have been observed from the Reds, who could be ready to cover part of the salary compensation during the loan. According to Footmercatoagent Fali Ramadani met with the Liverpool manager, reaching a preliminary agreement for the temporary transfer of the striker. This development led Ramadani to travel to Naples, where he established contacts with Antonio Conte and President Aurelio De Laurentiis. “Chiesa can be an additional asset,” Conte reportedly commented.
-Market challenges
The main difficulty lies in Liverpool’s reluctance to sell the striker permanently, even if Napoli are seriously considering an offer including a purchase option greater than the 13 million euros invested by the Reds last summer. The possibility of reducing salary support during the loan remains on the table, as the Azzurro club prepares to submit its first official proposal. “The negotiations are continuing, with the participation of all,” concludes a source involved in the discussions.
