One Liverpool star has people waiting on him back in his home country. The forward is a wanted man.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Federico Chiesa<\/a> has had a strange Liverpool career so far. He arrived with a decent amount of hype – the feeling was that the Reds found themselves an incredible bargain, snapping up a player once valued over \u00a3100m for around \u00a310m.<\/p>\n

But the debut campaign was a disappointing one and it really wasn\u2019t Chiesa\u2019s fault. The Italian barely played, at first because of fitness concerns and then because Arne Slot just didn\u2019t pick him.<\/p>\n

Just about everyone expected him to leave in the summer for regular first-team football but Chiesa decided to stay. He\u2019s still at Liverpool and still fighting for his place.<\/p>\n

Now, that place hasn\u2019t really found itself yet, despite him consistently performing in his limited minutes<\/strong><\/a>. And that\u2019s with Liverpool fans taking to Chiesa in a big way – his attitude and work-rate has endeared him to everyone.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just Liverpool fans watching and hoping for more minutes, either. Those back in Italy are eager to see more.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Federico Chiesa is wanted<\/p>\n

The World Cup is next year and Italy will play the Play-offs for a place at the tournament. Chiesa hasn’t been involved with the national team since joining Liverpool, however, and turned down a callup in this international break.<\/p>\n

The sense is that Chiesa would be an automatic selection if he were playing regularly for Liverpool. Or regularly anyway, in fact.<\/p>\n

Gianluigi Buffon certainly feels that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to bring back all the best players. If someone stands out, there\u2019s no preclusion of any kind, also because we need them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re waiting for Chiesa; there are very few like him in Europe, but [Gennaro Gattuso] hasn\u2019t left anyone at home who deserves to be here. The group matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next couple of months are pivotal, then. Chiesa has admirers in Italy, with Napoli hoping to sign him. Liverpool fans – and seemingly Chiesa himself – want him to have a bigger role in the team at Anfield and refuse to give up.<\/p>\n

But something needs to give if he’s to play at the World Cup. Either Chiesa forces his way into the team and proves his worth, or he makes the move to Italy and give up on Liverpool.<\/p>\n
