The European Champion in 2021 then ended up in Liverpool on a permanent basis, but could already leave England.
According to Repubblica, Roma have already started contacts for the loan of the former Juve and Fiorentina winger, who would therefore return to Italy, completing that transfer that fell through a year ago.
This year, Chiesa has made just 11 appearances in total, including 3 in the Premier League, 3 in the Champions League, 2 in the FA Cup and 2 in the League Cup, scoring just two goals, one in each domestic cup.

Concacaf rejects Greenland membership application
Greenland's application for membership of Concacaf has been unanimously rejected. The world's largest island, which has never played competitive international football, has a population of 57,000 and is a sovereign territory of Denmark but is geographically part of North America. Advertisement It is unable to join Uefa because the European governing body only admits countries recognised by the United Nations, but there is no such requirement for Concacaf, which governs North and Central America and the Caribbean. Greenland plays non-Fifa sanctioned friendlies but hopes of competitive international football for the first time were dashed at a meeting in Miami before the Gold Cup. "Based on a thorough assessment conducted by the Concacaf administration and Council, and in accordance with the Concacaf Statutes, the Member Associations reviewed the membership application submitted by the Greenlandic Football Association and unanimously rejected it," said a Concacaf statement. President Donald Trump has made repeated calls for the US to take control of the territory, which has caused outrage in both Denmark and Greenland. Advertisement Greenland covers an area greater than the size of western Europe, but 81% of its land mass is covered by sheet ice. According to the country's tourism website, Greenland has 76 football clubs and 5,500 registered players, around 10% of the population. However, the harsh Arctic climate means football can only be played outside for five months of the year and on gravel pitches or artificial turf. Last year, Greenland manager Morten Rutkjaer said membership of Concacaf would help improve their players.

Sky Sports: Tottenham Hotspur have Joined the Race to Sign 24-year-old Premier League Star
Tottenham Hotspur Turn Up the Heat in Race for Semenyo Tottenham Hotspur have stepped up their interest in Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, as reported by Sky Sports News, with the North London club seeking to bolster their attacking options ahead of a pivotal new era under expected incoming manager Thomas Frank. Advertisement According to Sky, 'Tottenham have stepped up their interest in Antoine Semenyo' with the Bournemouth star now firmly on Spurs' radar. The 24-year-old Ghana international, who impressed in the Premier League last season with his pace, power and direct style, fits the mould of the energetic, forward-thinking football Spurs are expected to play under Frank. Photo IMAGO Spurs Seek Firepower Amidst Rebuild Following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham are clearly not standing still. Their pursuit of Semenyo signals ambition and a desire to reshape the attack. With the future of Richarlison uncertain and Heung-Min Son not getting any younger, investing in a dynamic, goal-hungry talent like Semenyo makes long-term sense. Advertisement Crucially, Spurs are not alone in admiring the Bournemouth striker. Sky Sports confirmed, 'Manchester United also remain admirers of the Bournemouth forward', despite their primary focus being elsewhere. The Red Devils had a £55 million bid for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo rejected, and they are 'expected to follow-up with another offer'. Mbeumo Chase Gives Spurs Opening This transfer window has turned into a game of dominoes. Manchester United's aggressive pursuit of Mbeumo, who is also 'on the list at Spurs' according to Sky, has seemingly opened the door for Tottenham to act swiftly on Semenyo. United appear to be focused on Mbeumo for now, while Spurs may see a chance to move ahead in the queue for Semenyo without immediate pressure from their rivals. Given the growing price tag Brentford have attached to Mbeumo, Spurs' interest may be shifting toward a more attainable, and arguably better value, option. Photo: IMAGO Semenyo's Rise and Appeal Semenyo's stock has quietly risen in the last 12 months. A key figure in Andoni Iraola's attacking setup, he has developed into a versatile forward who can lead the line or play from wide areas. His ability to stretch defences and his powerful ball-carrying ability make him an ideal fit for high-tempo pressing football. Advertisement With Frank's appointment all but confirmed, his knowledge of Semenyo and the Premier League market could be a key factor in accelerating this deal. The incoming manager knows what it takes to succeed in England's top tier, and Semenyo might be one of his first major signings. As clubs like Manchester United continue to dominate headlines with expensive pursuits, Tottenham's more astute and calculated approach might just give them the upper hand in a race that could define their season. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Tottenham Hotspur fan's perspective, this news is massive. Antoine Semenyo is exactly the kind of player we've been crying out for — raw pace, physical presence and a real direct threat in the final third. After watching us play sideways football for most of last season, the thought of someone who actually runs at defenders is mouth-watering. Advertisement Also, the timing is perfect. With Thomas Frank expected to come in, you can already feel the direction the club wants to go. High-energy, flexible forwards are his bread and butter. If Semenyo is one of his first signings, it shows we're backing the new manager early — which we didn't really do with Ange, let's be honest. What I love most is that we're going toe-to-toe with United and might actually win. While they're busy throwing £55 million bids for Mbeumo, we could quietly wrap up a deal for Semenyo, who arguably fits our style better and is less of a risk. Let's not forget, Bournemouth gave us a tough time this season, and Semenyo was a big part of that. If you can't beat them, sign them. This move would be smart, shrewd and very Spursy — in the right way.

Cody Gakpo comes clean on Bayern Munich offer
Liverpool have got ambitions to restructure their squad this summer - starting with Florian Wirtz. The 22-year-old Germany playmaker is a No10 by trade but can also occupy a left-sided attacking midfield position. His potential arrival could have an impact on several current Liverpool stars. Dominik Szoboszlai, for one, might consider his place under threat with Wirtz a rival for a central attacking position. Advertisement But Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo might also be looking over their shoulders. If Arne Slot opts to keep Szoboszlai where he currently plays - in order to get through his fair share of off-the-ball work - then Wirtz could end up being fielded from the left. And if the club are going to spend £126m on a new attacker, the expectation is that he will be a nailed-on starter. Where that leaves Diaz and Gakpo right now is anyone's guess. Gakpo a target for Bayern Diaz, 28, has been extensively linked with both Barcelona and Al-Nassr - with Liverpool seemingly willing to cash in if the right bid materialises. Advertisement Gakpo has also been associated with a move away and Bayern Munich are known to be keen amid uncertainty for attackers like Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman. Under contract until 2028, the 26-year-old is reported to be seeking a new deal from the Reds. However, if an attractive bid is made for the Dutchman then sporting director Richard Hughes could opt to take it under consideration. © IMAGO - Cody Gakpo Liverpool 2024-25 'Maybe my agents have heard', admits Gakpo The question of Gakpo's future was put to him recently on international duty - when the attacker featured in the Netherlands' 2-0 win over Finland. Does he see himself sticking with Liverpool? 'The way it looks now, definitely,' he said. ' I am in my place and I am happy. We have had a good season and as a team, as a club we are looking for more.' Advertisement He was then quizzed on Bayern's reported interest, stating that he is leaving all talks in the hands of his representatives. "I haven't heard anything about it myself. I've moved on from that,' he said. "Maybe my agents have heard something about it, but I haven't heard anything yet. As I just said, I'm focused on how things are now." Gakpo has been at Anfield since January 2023 and excelled for Arne Slot last season when placed in his correct position. He scored 18 goals and added seven assists in 49 appearances overall.
