  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Chiesa had a very hectic last summer at Juventus after he was informed by new boss Thiago Motta that he was not in the Bianconeri's plans for the future. After a number of clubs showed interest in the Euro 2020 star, Liverpool managed to strike a cut-price deal for the Italian international for a reported fee of £11 million ($14.4m).

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  However, Chiesa's stay at Liverpool has not proven very fruitful as the Italian's early-season injury struggles left him out of the team dynamics before his lack of form limited his number of minutes with the Reds. The 27-year-old has now been linked with a potential exit from the Merseyside club.

  TELL ME MORE…

  As per Gazzetta dello Sport's Carlo Laudisa, Napoli are now considering making a move for Chiesa as their new superstar signing, as they look to build up the squad that has been fighting for the Serie A title against Inter Milan this season. Gli Azzurri have been interested in signing Manchester City legend Kevin de Bruyne, and Chiesa remains open as their second option for the summer.

• WHAT NEXT FOR CHIESA?

  Regardless of whether or not Napoli actually make their move for Chiesa, it is almost certain that Liverpool will sell the Italian attacker this summer in a move that would be benefical for both parties.
