The January transfer window is creeping up, with Liverpool expected to be one of the more busier teams in the winter market.

Arne Slot’s side made just two signings in the summer, with Federico Chiesa arriving from Juventus as Liverpool reached an agreement to sign Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will link up with the Reds next year.

With the Merseyside giants top of the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League standings, signings will be needed if the Anfield side are to maintain their incredible form, with Liverpool already eyeing LOSC Lille wonderkid Ayyoub Bouaddi.

And one Liverpool player could now be heading out on loan amid interest from Galatasaray.

Federico Chiesa wanted by Galatasaray on loan

According to Fotomac, the reigning Turkish champions are interested in signing Chiesa on loan, with the Liverpool winger struggling for fitness this season having made just three appearances in all competitions for the Reds.

With AC Milan also interested in signing Chiesa, there’s a growing sense that the Italian international could well leave Anfield some six months after the winger made the exciting move to Liverpool from Juventus.

Indeed, Cesc Fabregas’ Como 1906 are also keeping tabs on Chiesa, with the Reds potentially leaning towards loaning out the former ACF Fiorentina superstar with Slot getting a tune out of every Liverpool attacker this season.

And with Galatasaray now in the mix for Chiesa, Liverpool have a big decision to make in the coming weeks on what they want to do with the Italian forward, who could be open to a temporary transfer if it meant getting minutes under his belt.

Liverpool need to stick to their guns on Chiesa

Chiesa was always going to be a risky signing for Liverpool, with the winger suffering from inconsistent form and injury problems for the best part of three years at Juventus.

Yet with Paulo Sousa lauding Chiesa as an ‘incredible’ addition for Liverpool, the Reds would be foolish to give up on the no. 14 just six months after signing the Italian international in one of the more exciting deals of the summer.

And if Chiesa can regain fitness going into the festive period, the Euro 2020 champion could become a key player for Liverpool in an important stretch of the season, with the winger clearly talented enough to become a regular for the Reds.
