Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano, Chiesa discussed his future and also praised Jones, saying he could be a fine signing for Inter, while the player himself could also do well to swap England for Italy due to the better weather.

Federico Chiesa and Curtis Jones to leave Liverpool?

It seems Chiesa has also been in Jones’ ear about leaving LFC, with Romano posting the quote below…

“Jones asked me what it’s like living in Italy. I told him it’s brilliant and the weather’s much better than in Liverpool. Curtis is technically outstanding, Inter are right to be considering him,” he said.

It will be interesting to see how this all pans out, but it’s certainly believable that both Chiesa and Jones could leave Liverpool by the end of the summer.

Neither have been regulars for the Merseyside giants, and new manager Andoni Iraola will likely be keen to put his own stamp on this squad anyway.

It’s hard to see Chiesa or Jones having done enough to win over Iraola, but they might still get the chance to impress him by the time pre-season gets started if they haven’t been offloaded by then.
