Italian giant Napoli has emerged as a potential suitor for Federico Chiesa- if the forward is to return to his homeland after a single season with Liverpool.

The former Juventus attacker has had to settle for a bit-part role under Arne Slot after heading to Anfield in a cut-price $16.5 million deal last summer.

Across his first season with the Reds, the 51-time international has featured for just 387 minutes across 11 appearances in all competitions.

The 27-year-old has scored twice since joining the club with his most high-profile moment in a red shirt having come as he scored a consolation goal in a 2-1 defeat in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United.

To date, the Italian has only featured three times in the Premier League, leading to some speculation over whether he will remain on Merseyside beyond the end of the campaign.

Now, Daniele Longo (via calciomercato.com) has reported that the ex-Juventus forward is attracting interest from Napoli heading into the summer.
