Liverpool withdraws from €100 million deal for unexpected reasons

Liverpool has surprisingly abandoned a €100 million transfer, with the decision being influenced by Federico Chiesa’s impressive display in the win against Bournemouth.

Liverpool has decided to reduce their interest in Real Madrid star Rodrygo, as coach Arne Slot has chosen to give Federico Chiesa a chance instead. This summer transfer window has seen numerous rumors about Rodrygo potentially leaving Madrid, with Liverpool reportedly among the clubs interested in signing him.

However, after Chiesa scored in Liverpool’s 4-2 win against Bournemouth, the newspaper The Mirror reported that the Italian player would remain at Anfield, while Liverpool’s pursuit of Rodrygo is becoming increasingly unlikely.

Chiesa joined Liverpool from Juventus in last summer’s transfer window with high expectations, but his debut Premier League season was rather disappointing. He struggled with injuries and had limited opportunities to play, which affected his form.

Nevertheless, after coming off the bench to score against Bournemouth, Chiesa received praise from his teammates and proved his value and importance to Liverpool’s squad.

According to information from The Mirror, Chiesa’s goal not only helped Liverpool secure a crucial victory but also earned him the trust of his teammates. This means he will likely get more chances to play this season, which many hope will help Chiesa improve his performance after a difficult year. His ability to deliver and remain steady in important matches has also raised his standing in Liverpool’s dressing room.

Meanwhile, with Liverpool no longer prioritizing Rodrygo, other clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City may now compete to sign the Brazilian player.

Last season, Rodrygo had a fairly successful year at Real Madrid but failed to secure a regular starting spot under coach Carlo Ancelotti. As a result, his potential departure is not surprising, and Liverpool no longer views Rodrygo as their top transfer target.

The 27-year-old Federico Chiesa, after a challenging season at Liverpool, will be hoping for more playing time in the 2023/2024 season. Recently, he has showcased his unique abilities, and now is the moment for him to prove his worth in Liverpool’s starting lineup. Soon, Chiesa looks forward to facing Newcastle United on August 25, a great opportunity for him to continue making his mark.
