Napoli 'make official bid' for Federico Chiesa
Napoli have submitted an official offer for Liverpool's Federico Chiesa, proposing a loan deal with an option to buy.
However, Liverpool are reportedly seeking a mandatory purchase clause, creating a potential hurdle in the negotiations.
Chiesa, who has struggled to find form since joining Liverpool in the summer, has been linked with a move away from Anfield.
Despite a relatively low transfer fee of around £12.5 million, the Italian attacker has failed to impress, earning only a Premier League winners' medal after a recent appearance against Chelsea.
According to reports, Chiesa is enthusiastic about returning to Italy, and there is confidence that the deal is progressing well.
The loan-with-option-to-buy proposal from Napoli may not align with Liverpool's demands, but both parties seem keen to reach an agreement.
