Chiesa's decision may be influenced by his limited playing time at Liverpool last season. Under manager Arne Slot, the Italian international found it difficult to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup. As a result, Chiesa was excluded from the club's pre-season tour, indicating that he is no longer a key player for the Reds.

Chiesa joined Liverpool from Juventus in a deal worth around €15 million. During his time at Anfield, he scored two goals and provided one assist in 14 appearances. With his skills and experience, Chiesa is now being targeted by several Italian clubs, including AC Milan, Napoli, and Atalanta.

In a recent interview, Chiesa expressed his frustration with not playing regularly at Liverpool. He acknowledged the challenges of adapting to a new team and the physical demands of the Premier League. Chiesa's desire to play regularly and contribute to a team's success is understandable, especially at his prime age of 27.
