Federico Chiesa's Liverpool escape hopes have been dealt a damaging blow by club chief Mirwan Suwarso.
Chiesa is expected to leave Liverpool this summer after a couple of difficult seasons at Anfield.
## What happened?

The Italian winger has been limited to just 50 outings for the Reds due to injury and only nine of those have been starts.
Chiesa continues to have admirers in Italy, including at Como, who are aiming to add to their squad having sealed a spot in the Champions League for next season.
But it appears that a deal might not be so straightforward.
## Why it matters for Federico Chiesa

Como president Mirwan Suwarso was asked about the chance of signing the winger but suggested that he could be too expensive.
Suwarso told Tuttomercatoweb: “We are looking at many players. The price for those players is a bit higher than the range we have in mind, though.”
Chiesa, 28, has two years remaining on his contract with Liverpool but has suggested that talks will have to be held this summer regarding his future at the club.
## What comes next?

He said: "If I don't find consistency in the Premier League, I'll have to look elsewhere. I barely played in my first year at Liverpool, and in the last one, very little."
"I'll go on a training camp in the US, then I'll talk to the club and the new manager, [Andoni] Iraola, and we'll see."
Chiesa has a great relationship with Liverpool, having won the Premier League with the club last year.
And he understood the situation when the club told him he couldn't leave in January.
But now Chiesa is looking for a fresh start, with Liverpool potentially having a few other decisions to make when it comes to their squad this summer.
Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson have already left the club at the end of their deals.
Ibrahima Konate is also departing and is expected to join Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Harvey Elliott could also leave following his disappointing loan spell with Aston Villa.
So Chiesa's future is uncertain, but one thing is clear: he needs to find consistency in the Premier League.
With two years left on his contract, Chiesa will be looking to make a decision about his future soon.
As of June 2026, Chiesa has played very little since the start of the year.
But he remains hopeful of finding a new club where he can play regularly.
And with his injury problems behind him, Chiesa is ready to make a fresh start.
The transfer fee for Chiesa could be a stumbling block, but he is determined to find a new club.
Chiesa's future will be decided in the coming weeks, with Liverpool and Como waiting to see what happens next.
