Liverpool fans have taken to social media to express their frustration with Federico Chiesa, taking a dig at the Italy international for his limited contributions on the pitch despite his lucrative contract with the Premier League giants.
The 27-year-old moved to Anfield from Juventus for €15m, add-ons included, last summer but has since amassed as few as 371 minutes across 10 appearances, most of which came in cup competitions.
Liverpool fans mock Chiesa over his high salary and lack of playing time
His minimal impact on the field, coupled with seasonal wages of around 7.5m per year, prompted Liverpool fans’ X account Anfield Agenda to voice their disappointment moments before their side’s Champions League exit at the hands of PSG.
Chiesa is living all of our dreams – front row season ticket and £140k per week

“Chiesa is living all our dreams: front-row season ticket and £140k a week,” they wrote, underscoring the sentiment that the player is benefitting financially without delivering commensurate performances.
The Italian winger’s future at Liverpool appears increasingly uncertain, with Calciomercato.com suggesting that a return to Serie A is a plausible option, with clubs like Napoli and Atalanta previously expressing interest during the January transfer window, though no formal offers materialised at that time.
However, Chiesa would likely need to agree to a considerable pay cut if he wants to return to Italy, as his substantial salary remains a significant obstacle to a potential move back to Serie A.
While Liverpool seem destined to secure the Premier League title, Chiesa may miss out on a winner’s medal, as league rules state that players must make at least five appearances to get the recognition. The Italian has featured only three times so far.
If they have a problem with his salary, then that’s their club’s fault, not his.
Hard to argue with the fans…
Not agree. He was not played often by the coach. It’s teh coach’s falt. If he used him the the Champion’s League, you could have beaten PSG.

The forever victims picking on a player who wasn’t even on the pitch to make up for being dumped out again.
Slot doesn’t give any playing time he’s better the most of the players on the bench
It is impossible in this world that Chiesa is worse than Darwin. Be real scousers
Chiesa is great player and will prove that when he gets back playing again. Chiesa got himself fixed again, now all he needs is to be mach fixed only the manager can give that. YNWA Chiesa.⚽
All comments above are correct. The lad is very good but if the coach does allow him, he cannot get to a fitness level. Quite frankly, they lost the other night when they met a good footballing team in PSG. They are over rated. They should have been beaten in Paris, never mind on penalties. However, Federico, also needs to have the attitude in wanting to be picked.
