JUVENTUS, ROMA, AND NAPOLI OPEN PRELIMINARY INQUIRIES FOR LIVERPOOL’S FEDERICO CHIESA

Liverpool is reportedly ready to sell Federico Chiesa for €25m–€30m this summer as Serie A giants prepare their official bids.

Juventus, Roma, And Napoli Open Preliminary Inquiries For Liverpool’s Federico Chiesa
Liverpool Is Open To Selling Federico Chiesa This Summer

Federico Chiesa came to Liverpool with hype and high hopes, but things haven’t really clicked. According to Caught Offside, Liverpool’s board is “open to letting him go” this summer. That’s a big statement, especially since his contract runs all the way to 2028. The issue isn’t about attitude or work ethic—it’s more about whether he really fits, and there are real doubts about how well he’s adapted to the Premier League’s speed.

Chiesa has shown flashes—some lovely moments that make you think, “There it is!”—but those glimmers never quite turned into a regular spot in Liverpool’s attack. That matters, especially now that the team is reworking its forward line. Whispers about a transfer started in January and never really died down. Now, summer’s right in front of us, and it feels like something has to give.

Italian clubs didn’t miss a beat. Juventus want him back; Roma and Napoli are circling, all hunting for more attacking options. No official bids yet, but once the transfer window opens, talks are bound to pick up. Juventus fans are already buzzing about the idea of Chiesa returning, and the Italian media treat his homecoming like it’s just a matter of time.

Liverpool’s asking price is €25–30 million, according to Caught Offside. That’s enough to avoid a loss and ease the wage bill. It’s not a desperate sale—just sensible business, lining up finances with squad needs.

Chiesa’s contract situation shapes everything. Liverpool isn’t looking to extend, and Chiesa himself seems open to a slightly lower salary if it means going back to Serie A. The deal’s pieces are all there. Liverpool’s stance isn’t about doubting his ability—it’s about timing and the right environment. Chiesa’s talent isn’t in question, but week-in, week-out consistency just hasn’t happened.

Leaving him on the bench helps nobody. Juventus look like the frontrunners, but Roma and Napoli could still get involved. For Chiesa, this summer feels massive—a shot to start over, to find his rhythm again in a league that knows exactly what he brings.

There’s frustration, yeah, that Chiesa’s Liverpool story never really caught fire. But there’s also a sense of practicality: if you don’t fit, you don’t fit. Liverpool can’t afford to carry players who only shine in bursts, especially not up front, where energy and reliability are everything.

That €25–30 million price seems about right. It keeps Liverpool protected, respects the contract, and opens up space for someone who’s a better match for the Premier League’s pace. Fans know Chiesa is a good player—but they also know you need more than talent to make it work here. Maybe going back to Serie A is exactly what he needs. Some players come to England to sharpen their edge; others need Italy to be at their best.

If Chiesa does leave, most supporters will wish him luck, not dwell on what could’ve been. Liverpool’s always been about knowing when to move on. When something just doesn’t fit, you don’t force it. This feels like one of those times.

LAUTARO MARTINEZ EQUALS ROBERTO BONINSEGNA WITH 171 GOALS FOR INTER MILAN

Lautaro Martinez has tied Roberto Boninsegna for 3rd in Inter’s all-time scoring with 171 goals after a 5-0 win over Sassuolo.

Roberto Boninsegna Reacts To Lautaro Martinez Breaking Into Inter's Top Three

Roberto Boninsegna, the former Inter and Italy striker, doesn’t hide it—he would’ve loved to partner up with Lautaro Martinez. “We’d have made a great strike duo,” he says.

Lautaro just scored in Inter’s 5-0 rout of Sassuolo on Sunday, which ties him with Boninsegna at 171 goals, making them both the club’s third-highest scorers ever.

“Congrats to Lautaro,” Boninsegna told Gazzetta. “I’m not just a former striker; I’m a huge Inter fan. Watching him score so regularly this season? It’s just great.”

He admits he saw this moment coming. “I knew he’d catch me, but honestly, I didn’t think he’d do it this fast. That’s even better. The team’s closing in on the Scudetto, and Lautaro’s a captain who really deserves it.”

Boninsegna likes what he sees in Lautaro. “He's got the personality for it. He earns the trust of his teammates with what he does on the pitch.”

For the record, Boninsegna scored nine goals in 22 games for Italy, including one in that wild 1970 World Cup semifinal against Germany. Only Giuseppe Meazza (284) and Alessandro Altobelli (209) have scored more for Inter than Boninsegna and Lautaro.

Looking back, Boninsegna can’t help but wonder what could’ve been. “It’s an honour to share this spot with him, but I wish we could’ve played together. We’d have been a nightmare for defenders. I’d stay in the box; he’d buzz around, linking up play—I’d make space; he’d pounce on any loose ball. We’d have caused all sorts of problems.”

Right now, Inter sits on top of the Serie A table, eight points clear of Milan, who still have a game in hand.

“We’re strong in the Champions League, and we’ll show it against Milan and Juventus,” Boninsegna adds. “The Champions League is a different beast—everything shifts a bit there. But I believe we can go pretty far. The mood in the dressing room is perfect for facing these big challenges. I’m confident.”

AC MILAN TO SECURE €70M FROM PERMANENT LOAN TRANSFER TRIGGERS

AC Milan is set for a €70 million boost as loan players like Jimenez, Morata, and Chukwueze secure permanent 2026 transfers.

Milan Must Reinvest This €70M Windfall In A World-Class Striker

According to reports on Monday, Milan stands to make about €70 million from selling players who are currently out on loan for the 2025-26 season. Here’s a breakdown of who might bring in that money and how it all adds up.

First up, Alex Jimenez. He’s set to join AFC Bournemouth on a permanent deal after his loan spell in England. Because he hit the targets in his contract, Bournemouth now has to pay Milan €19.5 million, plus over €5 million in possible bonuses. But Milan won’t pocket all of that—Real Madrid gets half due to a sell-on clause from his previous transfer.

Then there’s Alvaro Morata, who’s on loan at Como. His deal also has a conditional buy clause, and Milan expects it to be triggered. That would mean another €15 million coming in from his sale.

Samuel Chukwueze, currently impressing at Fulham, is on loan with an option to buy. If Fulham decides to keep him, Milan collects €24 million more.

Lorenzo Colombo looks set to leave for good this summer too. He’s on loan at Genoa, who can buy him for around €10 million—but only if Colombo scores at least five Serie A goals, makes at least 22 appearances, and Genoa avoids relegation. He’s already scored six in 24 matches, so that deal’s looking likely.

Tommaso Pobega is another one. Reports say Milan and Bologna have agreed on a €7 million fee for his permanent move over the summer.

Lastly, Filippo Terracciano could join Cremonese for €3.5 million—assuming they stay up and avoid relegation.

If these transfers all go through as expected, Milan will pull in over €70 million. This doesn’t even count players like Ismael Bennacer, Yunus Musah, and Warren Bondo, who also have options to buy in their contracts, though those look less likely to happen.
