Liverpool ready to sell Federico Chiesa
Liverpool could reshape their forward line at the end of the season, and Federico Chiesa appears increasingly likely to be part of that discussion. According to Calcio Mercato, the club are now open to approving a transfer if suitable bids arrive during the summer window.
The report from Calcio Mercato states that Liverpool declined approaches in January but have since reassessed their stance as they evaluate squad balance and long term planning under Arne Slot.
Summer stance shifts at Anfield
Chiesa has struggled to secure a consistent starting role since moving to Anfield. While he has been used regularly from the bench, sustained runs in the lineup have proved elusive.
According to Calcio Mercato, Liverpool would consider offers in the region of £17 million for the Italy international. The 28 year old is said to be seeking a move that guarantees more regular starts, whether that opportunity comes in England or elsewhere in Europe.

Injuries within the attacking unit earlier in the campaign limited Liverpool’s willingness to sanction a winter departure. However, with squad depth expected to be reassessed in the offseason, the club’s position has reportedly softened.
West Ham tracking the situation
West Ham showed interest during the previous transfer window, according to Calcio Mercato, but no deal materialized at the time. It remains unclear whether the London side will formalize their interest when the market reopens.
Chiesa has made 19 Premier League appearances this season, though only one has come as a starter. Across those outings, he has accumulated 255 minutes of league action. Those numbers underline the challenge he has faced breaking into Arne Slot’s preferred attacking structure.
A switch to West Ham could provide a clearer pathway to regular minutes. Much may depend on the club’s league status and competitive ambitions heading into the new season.

How this decision shapes Liverpool’s summer strategy
From Liverpool’s perspective, any potential sale would form part of a broader squad recalibration. Decisions around outgoing players are expected to influence recruitment priorities, particularly in wide attacking areas.
For Chiesa, the coming transfer window represents an opportunity to reset and secure a defined role at a club willing to build around his strengths. For Liverpool, it is another calculated call in a summer likely to feature measured but meaningful adjustments.
