Liverpool’s hopes of signing AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders could have been dashed as the Serie A club move to secure his future – potentially leaving Federico Chiesa’s future uncertain.

Reijnders has become a key player in Milan’s engine room since arriving from AZ Alkmaar for a fee in the region of $21.6 million last season.

The 26-year-old nailed down a role in the midfield in his debut campaign and has kicked on in his second season in Italy, even scoring three times in four Champions League games, including in the 3-1 win against Real Madrid.

The Dutchman possesses it all to be a top-class box-to-box midfielder and has also attracted interest from fellow Premier League sides Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool’s interest in the Dutchman was reported by MilanLive earlier this month, as they claimed Milan have been in contact with the Reds regarding Chiesa’s availability.

But the Reds' chances of adding the Milan star to their midfield have been knocked back with it apparent that despite a poor start to the league campaign, Milan are looking to lock down the midfielder, who is also happy to remain in Italy.

According to Fabrizio Romano, talks between the player and club are progressing regarding a new contract.

Federico Chiesa faces an uncertain future at Liverpool.

Regarding Chiesa’s future, CalcioMercato reported that Como are interested in making a loan move for the forward.

It’s unlikely that Liverpool will move Chiesa on after just a matter of months in January but his long-term future is unclear.
