Liverpool Breaks Silence: Salah’s Future and Chiesa Deal Spark January Transfer Buzz

Juventus interest in Federico Chiesa

Liverpool has responded to Juventus' inquiries about re-signing Italian winger Federico Chiesa in the January window, according to reports. La Gazzetta dello Sport says Juventus were seeking a loan arrangement, but Liverpool have made clear they would only consider a permanent sale for Chiesa, not a temporary loan.

Salah's future and January implications

Additionally, Liverpool indicated they are awaiting a final decision on Mohamed Salah's future after a recent clash with manager Arne Slot before Christmas, with speculation that Salah could depart in January. If Salah leaves this month, Chiesa's potential move would become unlikely and Juventus' loan plan could stall; if Salah stays, the door remains open for other outcomes.

Egyptian winger Salah is currently with the national team at the Africa Cup of Nations, and it remains improbable that he will settle his club future before returning to England.

Current transfer context

The situation underscores how Liverpool are prioritizing a permanent exit for Chiesa rather than a loan, while Salah's situation could pivot the entire January window for the Reds and for Juve.

Punchline teaser for the transfer soap opera: if this saga had a soundtrack, it would be a remix of good news and bad news—with a chorus of “just sign it already.”

Punchline 2: Klopp’s watching the clock like it’s a live ticker—transfer windows move slower than a snail on a treadmill, and somehow still end up in overtime.
