Federico Chiesa’s difficult start to life at Liverpool may soon come to an end, with Fenerbahce reportedly interested in offering the Italian winger a fresh start—at the suggestion of Jose Mourinho himself.According to reports from Turkey, Mourinho has urged Fenerbahce’s board to pursue Chiesa in the upcoming transfer window. The Portuguese manager is said to be keen on strengthening his squad’s attacking options, particularly out wide, and sees the 27-year-old as a key addition.According to reports in Turkey, Jose Mourinho has asked Fenerbahce to sign Italy international Federico Chiesa from Liverpool this summer.#LFC #Chiesa #Fenerbahce #Mourinho pic.twitter.com/1oQW5Y4z58— Football Italia (@footballitalia) April 28, 2025 Chiesa arrived at Anfield last summer in a deal worth an initial 10 millions—potentially rising to 12.5 millions with bonuses—and was touted as one of the bargains of the window. Yet, his debut season in the Premier League has been anything but smooth.Plagued by injuries and struggling to find a place in Arne Slot’s system, the Euro 2020 winner has made just four league appearances totaling 33 minutes. A muscle injury sidelined him for much of the autumn, and fierce competition for places—especially from Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo—has left Chiesa on the fringes.Barely figured much this season but still always smiling Can’t help but have a soft spot for Federicho Chiesa pic.twitter.com/SM7aJtp1Nu— SECTION 128 (@BradYNWA6) April 29, 2025 With only four league appearances to his name, Chiesa may also miss out on a Premier League winners’ medal, as players typically need five appearances to qualify. Liverpool, meanwhile, have already sealed the title, capped off by a dominant 5-1 victory over Tottenham last weekend.Chiesa’s versatility—able to operate on either wing or across the front line—makes him an attractive target for Mourinho. The former Juventus and Fiorentina man has represented Italy 51 times and remains a player of significant pedigree, despite his recent struggles.Chiesa actually does everything right in training yet Slot still keeps him in his basement pic.twitter.com/T37LVfbS66— Braden 🇳🇱 (@Braden_LFC) April 23, 2025 When asked earlier this month if Chiesa has a realistic chance of displacing Salah or Szoboszlai, Slot was blunt in his response: “Yeah, that is my answer.”Now, with interest from Istanbul intensifying, Chiesa could be poised for a change of scenery—one that might finally reignite his career.##NAJAVA_MECA_8893853##
