Italy international Federico Chiesa is once again reconsidering his Liverpool status amid reports Como could give him Champions League playing time.

The winger has been linked with a return to Serie A every few months since his initial move from Juventus for €12m plus up to €3m in add-ons in 2024.

Every time, he is hesitant to accept the time at Anfield has been a failure, hoping that something will happen for him to get a chance to prove himself.

Chiesa given few Liverpool opportunities

Although he did make 36 competitive appearances for Liverpool this season, contributing three goals and as many assists, Chiesa started only five of those matches, precisely one in the Premier League.

The dismissal of Arne Slot and possible arrival of Andoni Iraola as the new coach could shake things up even more, and not necessarily in a good way, so the exit is again beckoning.

Calciomercato report that a new contender is ready to make a bid for the 28-year-old, as Como have secured Champions League qualification just two years after promotion from Serie B.

They have a problem, because there are hardly any Italian players in the squad, so more are required to meet the list targets and Chiesa can fit the bill.

Milan, Roma and Napoli had all been linked with him in the past, but Como might provide a fresh start under Cesc Fabregas.
