Federico Chiesa has turned down an opportunity to return to Juventus, making it clear that he intends to remain at Liverpool beyond the 2026 season.
The Italian forward, whose future at Anfield has recently been the subject of speculation, has no plans to leave the Premier League club despite interest from his former team. According to reports, Chiesa is focused on proving his value under Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and securing a long-term role with the Reds.
Is Federico Chiesa Leaving Liverpool?
Chiesa’s Liverpool career has not gone as initially expected. After missing a large portion of last season due to fitness issues, the winger has struggled to consistently meet expectations since his arrival. However, the 2026 campaign has seen him earn more regular playing time under new manager Arne Slot.
Despite increased minutes, uncertainty remains around his long-term status at the club, leading to rumors of a possible transfer. Juventus recently attempted to capitalize on the situation, submitting a proposal to bring Chiesa back on loan until June.
Chiesa Rejects Juventus Loan Move
According to Sky Sports News, Juventus’ approach was firmly rejected by the player. While Liverpool were open to discussing the deal, Chiesa himself ruled out a return to Turin, choosing instead to continue his career in England.
The winger believes he can still become an important figure for Liverpool and is confident that his role will grow as the season progresses. Sources indicate that Arne Slot, despite earlier tensions, now trusts Chiesa and wants him to remain part of the squad.
Juventus were reportedly surprised by the player’s stance, having expected him to be open to a reunion with the Serie A giants.
Federico Chiesa’s 2026 Season Stats

For now, Chiesa’s focus remains firmly on Anfield as he looks to revive his form and establish himself as a key option in Slot’s attacking rotation.
