Chiesa: A Colchoneros Opportunity?
Atlético de Madrid could be interested in Federico Chiesa, the talented Italian winger who is looking for a fresh start after a season with few minutes at Liverpool. At 27 years old, Chiesa longs to be a key player to secure his place in the 2026 World Cup, which would drive him to seek a club where he can shine.
Although Napoli has also shown interest, the possible departure of Correa from Atlético opens a window for the Italian at the Metropolitano. Bucero, responsible for the sporting area of the club, has Chiesa’s name on his list of possible reinforcements.
His arrival would depend on Correa’s departure, as Simeone relies on Sorloth and Julián Álvarez as a forward pairing, with Griezmann as an alternative. Chiesa could provide the spark and imbalance that Correa offered as a game-changer.
Chiesa, under contract until 2028 and with a market value of 14 million euros, stood out at Fiorentina and Juventus, especially on the left wing with his stronger foot, being key in the European Championship won by Italy.
His speed, intuition and powerful shot make him an attractive player for any team. Atlético values his ability to disrupt matches and his versatility in attack. However, the negotiation could depend on the player’s high salary and Liverpool’s willingness to loan or transfer him permanently. We will have to wait and see if the dream of seeing Chiesa dressed in red and white becomes a reality.
