Earlier, Rodrygo was said to be able to leave the Bernabeu this summer. However, Federico Chiesa's beautiful shot when he came on the pitch, contributing to the 4-2 victory over Bournemouth over the weekend, made everything change. Mirror claimed that Chiesa would stay in Anfield, which means that Liverpool's ambition to own Rodrygo seemed to close.

Chiesa's first season in Liverpool is not smooth. He only played the pitch, partly because of injury, partly because he was not respected. But the last goal helped the 27 -year -old score in the eyes of his teammate. Many sources revealed that Chiesa was very popular under the Arne Slot.
Chiesa's last season statistics are quite modest. He only had 14 appearances in all competitions and scored 2 goals. Particularly in the Premier League, the former Juventus player only played 6 matches. However, with confidence back, Chiesa hopes to be given more opportunities in the new campaign.
Meanwhile, the race to win the Rodrygo signature will now leave Arsenal and Man City. Both giants are closely monitoring the situation, when the summer transfer period will be closed on September 1.
With Liverpool, the next goal is to maintain the winning circuit when the team marched to Newcastle on August 25. Chiesa hopes to continue to play and contribute to the team's achievements, thereby creating a turning point in his journey at Anfield.
