Federico Chiesa Says Game Time Determines Liverpool Future

Federico Chiesa has said his future at Liverpool will depend on minutes on the pitch. He will assess his role after the pre‑season tour in the United States with new manager Andoni Iraola. The decision comes as the club prepares for the next season.

Chiesa arrived at Liverpool from Juventus in 2024. During the 2025/26 campaign he recorded only one Premier League start. The majority of his league appearances came from the bench.

Chiesa told reporters that he wants regular playing time and will look elsewhere if continuity does not come in the Premier League. He emphasized a practical approach rather than demanding guarantees.

Andoni Iraola’s arrival follows Arne Slot’s departure, opening a clean slate for several players. For Chiesa, the United States pre‑season now serves as a trial of fit, role and intent. He plans to discuss his future with the club and Iraola after the tour.

Links with Serie A clubs Inter Milan and Como have been mentioned as possible options. Chiesa stressed that game time, not a guaranteed starting place, is his priority. He remains willing to fight for his place wherever he plays.
