Liverpool’s first preseason matchup is against Preston North End.
After the first forty-five minutes of Liverpool’s preseason match against Preston North End, supporters had already decided on Federico Chiesa.
Arne Slot has not spent any time in expanding his team this summer, as the Reds easily won the 24/25 Premier League title. Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong joined from Bayer Leverkusen, and Milos Kerkez completed another early summer transfer.
Slot’s team played their first game of the season at Deepdale, where the host team honored the memory of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, ahead of the Premier League starting next month.
Desperate to retain Federico Chiesa, Liverpool supporters
Although many of Liverpool’s main players, including Mo Salah, were there from the beginning, Federico Chiesa was the player who initially attracted the attention of supporters.
Chiesa only made one start in six Premier League games the previous season, and this summer, he has been linked to a move away from Anfield.
But following his outstanding performance against Preston, supporters are now frantically trying to hold onto the Italian international.
Additionally, we can’t sell Federico Chiesa,” a fan wrote. We know there is a player there; all he needs is match sharpness and fitness. Give him another season. This season, this team needs his healthy vitality.
Another said: “Even before she joined us, I always liked Chiesa. He is as talented as anyone when he is on it, so I sincerely hope he remains and has a fair shot this season.”
According to a third post, “We are mad if we let Chiesa go what a player he his.”
Federico Chiesa’s remarks regarding his future
In an interview with Corriere Dello Sport in May, Chiesa expressed his frustrations over his lack of playing time and that he would be weighing his options this summer.
“The year is over. However, I would have the experience again. In the near future, my family, Fali (Ramadani), and the club will gather around the table to determine the best course of action. He clarified, “I wouldn’t mind staying in Liverpool at all.”
