Liverpool have reportedly made clear that they won’t send Federico Chiesa on loan, amid interest from Besiktas.
With the transfer window in Turkiye open until September 12, it is still possible for players to move from the Premier League to the Super Lig.
Besiktas are among the clubs looking for a winger, and they have made an approach to Liverpool, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
On Saturday, the reporter said: “I can also reveal to you that Besiktas also called for Federico Chiesa.
“Besiktas, in the last 24 to 48 hours, tried to call for Federico Chiesa to understand his situation at Liverpool.”
Romano’s sources have clearly made it obvious that Liverpool won’t loan their Italian, with the reporter adding: “Liverpool are not letting Federico go on loan.
“At the moment, negotiations are not advanced. It’s not something concrete and advanced, but they made a call also to Federico Chiesa.
“Sp let’s say that Besiktas are looking for that position on the market, they could be one to watch because they are prepared to invest.”
Though unlikely, if Besiktas were to come in with a permanent offer Liverpool deem a good price, the Reds would be dealt a decision that would probably be guided by the player’s wishes.
Earlier in the summer, it seemed certain Chiesa would leave. However, no suitable offers emerged and the passing of Diogo Jota elevated his teammate into a more influential position.
Despite coming on in all three of Liverpool’s opening Premier League matches, Alexander Isak‘s arrival means his minutes will be numbered from here on out – Chiesa’s exclusion from the Champions League squad all but confirmed he was only being used in attack while the Reds waited for their new No. 9.
